Transparency International – Animated Collage for Whistleblower Protection
This animated collage video was part of a communication campaign by the anti-corruption NGO Transparency International, highlighting the importance of the Whistleblower Protection Act. It tells the story of an employee experiencing a violation of law in practice and illustrates whom a potential whistleblower can turn to for help.
About The Project
In 2023, the Czech Republic introduced the Whistleblower Protection Act to safeguard employees against retaliation when reporting illegal activity. To raise awareness around this landmark legislation, Transparency International CZ launched an educational communication campaign.
I collaborated with Transparency International to create an engaging animated collage story. The video follows an employee experiencing a legal violation in the workplace, illustrating how such issues impact employees, society, and the environment as a whole – while highlighting where potential whistleblowers can turn for help.
The Creative Process & Workflow
While the Transparency International team developed the initial concept and script, my role was to design and execute the complete visual identity and bring the story to life through motion:
1️⃣ Concept & Storyboarding: Based on the finalized script and the visual style I established for the Whistleblower Protection Act projects, I drafted a storyboard to outline the narrative flow and map out the overall collage composition.
2️⃣ Collage Design & Audio Mixing: I curated and prepared the collage materials, textures, and visual elements, while mixing and selecting the sound effects and background music.
3️⃣ Animation & Final Synchronization: Once the assets and sound design were approved, I synchronized the visual elements with the audio track and animated the collage composition in Adobe After Effects.
Why This Approach Works for Clients
The mixed-media collage style offers a powerful aesthetic for NGOs, educational projects, and cause-driven brands:
🟣 Tackling Complex & Sensitive Topics: Abstract or heavy legal/social issues become approachable, human, and visually memorable through artful collage.
🟣 High Visual Distinction: Standing out in social media feeds requires a unique look – collages blend vintage, textured, and modern elements into an eye-catching aesthetic.
🟣 Emotional Resonance: Combining sound design with expressive cut-out visuals allows for rich storytelling that effectively connects with viewers and drives real awareness.
What The Client Says
"Eva is a true pleasure to work with. For Transparency International Czech Republic (TI), she created several infographic videos that tackle "challenging" topics, such as money laundering and whistleblower protection. I am very glad we have the opportunity to showcase TI's anti-corruption work to the public together in such a creative way."
