Happy Babies can change the world! - Video Contest

Contest Brief

We are looking to create viral video content to spread our concept rapidly to a large audience. We believe that carrying a baby from birth and having skin- to-skin contact is the most effective method of creating a healthy attachment between parents and babies. Our mission is to build awareness of the baby carrying and bonding benefits between parent and infant in underprivileged communities. We believe that a new generation of Happy Babies will change the world.

Our founder has a vision of a video project that animates babies to tell the story of the benefits of being worn from their perspective. You can check out our website to learn about these benefits: https://happybaby.org/about-us/our_values/ As far as what this video looks like through his eyes he hasn't specified, when I think about the project I imagine anything from simple cartoon animation to "Look who's Talking". I have never posted a job or contest here before and I am open to sealing it, it the demand exists.

Our projects are located in Uganda, Ghana, the Congo, Morocco, and Bangladesh. So an international baby or multicultural babies (light to dark brown skin) would have the most impact on our audience, keeping in mind that multiple skin tones, ethnicities will probably tell the story best without pinpointing or alienating any specific culture. I have translations of the following 5 benefits in French and I think Swahili if you have interest in expanding the language.

5 benefits to ergonomic baby wearing: (my personal notes in parenthesis)
1. Family Bonding: Enables fathers to participate actively in early caregiving, which strengthens your marriage/relationship and expands your babies exposure to male caregiving patterns, resulting in a more optimum development. (*Dads can wear babies too!)

2.Interaction: Strengthens the attachment between you and your baby, resulting in the growth of an empathetic and secure child. Creates a harmonious and joyful interaction between you and your baby, helping the development of socio-emotional skills. (*A secure baby is a Happy Baby)

3. Breastfeeding: Helps you maintain effortless and painless breastfeeding longer, reducing your own and your baby's risk for a range of illnesses and diseases. (*the promotion of breast feeding in the developing world is crucial especially in areas without clean water)

4.Comfort: Enables hands-free caregiving of your baby, giving you the freedom to enjoy a joyful and active maternity leave and to contribute to your family's well being. (*a lot of our users are female farmers who are carrying their babies while working. the design of the Happy Baby Carrier increases the safety of their children while they are working.)

5.Front and Back: Allows you to carry your newborn baby in the front position and later gives the choice to carry your baby in the front or on the back safely and ergonomically. (*traditional baby carrying is typically done on the back. The front position offers the benefit of eye contact and easily reading babies cues.)

I think a short video that touched upon these 5 benefits would do it! Please let me know what you need, I'm committed to making this a success for everyone!

Employer Feedback

“Nural A. must've been sent to me by angels. Or he is one himself. I was the nightmare client that didn't have a clue what I wanted and even worse threw him terrible last minute changes deep into the project. He went above and beyond, he was intuitive, did WAY more edits than he needed to, never took the easy way out, communicated with me daily, and never freaked out or panicked. I hope to make more projects with him in the near future, to build a lasting working relationship with him. He was really a total dream to work with and I am so happy that I chose him as our contest winner! Hire Nural A. for your animation project! You won't regret it!”

    my boss really wants a talking baby. a short story told from the perspective of the baby. How being worn in a happy baby carrier has benefited him. In the context of our work, as you can see on our website, some of the unique benefits to rural african communities are women farm workers having a safe means of carrying their babies in the field, and for fathers to develop closer relationships with their offspring by carrying them in our carriers (the traditional fabric wrap method is seen as feminine.) another benefit in rural africa is the ease of breastfeeding (most people are aware that NGOs convinced african mothers to switch to formula decades ago, despite their access to clean water.) there is now a push to bring these mothers back to feeding at the breast which provides many benefits to the childs development and immune system as well.

      yes, an animation of a live baby (where the mouth moved up and down) would be epic. You have a vision, are you interested in creating something?

    Now if I understand what the contest is about and the prize is very good, I will make my entrance and see if I do something that he likes? you bet on a video of the viral type? If so, it must be a video that apart from the information you want to give must contain a unique story or art, so that the person who sees it wants to share it or have it in their networks. I am going to participate in this contest and I hope to do something that I like.

    what you want to achieve is clear. how, not so much. It would be good to add some video references of something you like, add a script, mention the duration of the video you want. Give certain clues, as it is a contest and create an entry without having a clear idea of what the client wants. It is very risky (I understand that maybe you want to be "surprised", but we need guides)
