Call for services: Development of an animated video for FoodE
01 February 2021
Context
The European project FoodE – Food Systems in European Cities – (Grant agreement no. 862663) aims to accelerate the growth of sustainable and resilient citizen-led urban food system initiatives across Europe.
Part of the activities envisaged in the context of FoodE is “KidScience” – a dissemination and communication campaign for awareness raising on the benefits of local food systems targeting school children. In this context, the project envisages to create and launch a short animated video. It should communicate the challenges faced by food systems (e.g. climate change, such as drought, etc.) and solutions to address them in a playful and easy-to-understand manner. As part of the KidScience campaign, school pupils across EU Member States submitted their ideas for a FoodE mascot which will become the main character of the animated video.
Against this background, FoodE is issuing a call for services to identify the most suitable company to carry out the tasks detailed in the section below.
Scope of the assignment
The objective is to develop an animated video that is primarily aimed at school pupils aged between 7-11. Specific tasks that are expected to be carried out by the service provider are:
- To translate the design of FoodE’s mascot into an animated character;
- To develop an animated video which is no longer than 60/90 seconds;
- To provide a voice-over in English, based on a script prepared by FoodE;
- To integrate subtitles in different languages, based on inputs provided by FoodE;
- To integrate FoodE’s logo in the beginning and ending of the video;
- To display the social media channels and a link to the project’s website.
FoodE will provide the following content to the service provider:
- The design of the FoodE mascot;
- The script of the animated video and its voice-over;
- The translated subtitles to be integrated by the service provider (in French, Italian, Romanian, Slovenian, Dutch, German and Norwegian).
