KidSport TV Commercial - Animation brings KidSport campaign to life

The Department of Sport and Recreation has teamed up with two Perth based companies to launch an exciting new animated advertisement as part of a campaign to promote KidSport in Western Australia.

The Pixar-inspired 30 second animation was produced by Perth based companies, The Brand Agency and Staccato 3D Animation, as an innovative and cost-effective way to promote the positive community benefits of getting kids involved in club sport.

Staccato 3D Animation digital artist Paul Siciliano said it took five weeks to create the advertisement which is unlike anything else currently being produced in Perth.

Channel 7 and The West Australian have teamed up with the DSR to help promote KidSport throughout the state.
