Animated Commercial about Komatsu's Demining Work
Prime & Komatsu asked us to create an engaging 2D animated commercial that highlights the important demining work Komatsu is doing in Cambodia.
The film, inspired by the style of Ghibli, follows a girl and her friends on an after-school day when an unexpected event occurs. With hand-painted backgrounds and traditional frame-by-frame animation, the film draws inspiration from Japanese anime.
Directed, produced, and animated by Brikk Animation, the project showcases Komatsu’s commitment to safety and innovation in a crafted and powerfully impressive way.
Komatsu’s work in Cambodia
Komatsu supports demining efforts in Cambodia to improve safety and quality of life in the country. By providing advanced technology and equipment for demining, they help clear dangerous areas and make the land safer for the local population.
The project focuses on educating and supporting local teams in handling mines and other explosive remnants of war.
Their efforts have made it possible for people to return to their homes and land. Komatsu demonstrates a long-term commitment to humanitarian work in the region.
