Awake.

A cross-programme awareness film for Qatar's Ministry of Culture and Sports — threading cultural heritage, sport, and community programmes into a single piece that could front sector-specific campaigns for the rest of the year.

Overview

The brief

The Ministry commissioned a single awareness film that could serve as the umbrella for the year's culture and sport campaigns — museums, national team, festivals, youth sport, community events.

We structured the film as three interlocking chapters — heritage, motion, community — each with a distinct palette and tempo. The three-act structure meant MCS could cut out one chapter for sector-specific briefs later in the year.

Approach

How we worked

01 — Architecture first

Planned the chapter cuts at script stage so later re-use was built in.

02 — Palette per chapter

Heritage in earth tones, motion in blue, community in warm yellow. One brand, three voices.

03 — Score-first timing

Scored the music before animating — film paces to the track, not the other way around.

04 — Multi-life delivery

Full master + three standalone chapter cuts + teaser reels for festival lead-ups.

Stills from the film

Seven frames.
One campaign voice.

#خلّي_أخلاقك_قطرية — "Make your manners Qatari." A flat-illustration system that lets the same characters move through home, office, road, sport, and hospitality without the visual brand ever drifting.
