Mixing character-fueled animations with fluid movements and snappy transitions, this film is all about capturing the effortless nature of the Happify brand. The narrative is more metaphorical than precise. The design, more inspiring than insistent—with abstract shapes and soft yet clarifying colors. All things combined, there's a happy momentum to the film that—even with complicated levers like data visualization and information-rich VO—feels effortless and clean.
According to Itay, "The Happify brand is all about potential and possibility, and that's the spirit we wanted to pull through. We wanted to create a compelling video that hits the main points of the Happify product in the most engaging, fun, energetic yet organic way - inspiring people to invest in a future of happiness."
In this explainer video for Happify, Hornet’s Itay Tevel creates a storytelling system built on energetic motion, engaging transitions, and engrossing rhythm. Conceptually, the film showcases how enterprise employees can be healthier & happier when using Happify Therapeutics. Visually, Itay concocted a concise & coherent interplay of movement, typography, and color to make the message pop in all the right places. Working directly with Happify, the film was produced in 8-weeks, and it offers a (snappy & fluid) glimpse at Hornet’s brand-direct capabilities.
