SAIDA – Explainer Video Series

2024 | overall 12 min | UHD | Vector-based 2D Animation

SAIDA’s new animated film series is designed for medical professionals in gynecology, obstetrics, and pediatrics, addressing the highly sensitive topic of caring for women and girls affected by female genital mutilation (FGM). For us, it was an especially enriching and responsible task to approach this subject with sensitivity and respect. As a team, we embraced the challenge of presenting such a difficult topic in a clear and empathetic way, with dedication and creativity. Through concise, impactful films, we highlight not only the identification of FGM but also the sensitive care of survivors, preventive measures, and child protection—all conveyed in a respectful and accessible manner.

The team at SAIDA International is absolutely thrilled with the beautiful explainer video that Protoplanet Studio created for us. The studio succeeded in portraying the difficult topic of support for survivors of female genital mutilation (FGM) in Germany with both sensitivity and clarity. The purpose and mission of our work are truly reflected in the film.

The collaboration was incredibly pleasant—our wishes and suggestions were always taken seriously, even though we had little experience with animated videos. We deeply appreciate the studio’s creativity and professionalism and look forward to working together again in the future!
