BRAND STORY
Where the Quality of Water Effects the Quality of Life
The animation begins in a black-and-white, frame-by-frame style, capturing the rough and wild essence of the underwater world. As treasures are discovered in the depths of the sea, vibrant colors burst into the scene, transforming the illustration. When these treasures are lifted out of the water, the animation shifts to a refined and polished look, symbolizing the high-quality Canadian products that we recognize as the real treasures.
