The Indigenous Ward Name series was a massive collaboration between Indigenous community members, illustrators, animators, Knowledge Keepers, composers, cinematographers, designers, and 3D visual effects artists. Throughout the project we stayed in constant communication with Indigenous team members and the Elder’s themselves to maintain an open dialogue about the presentation and authenticity of sharing their culture with a broad audience. The mixed media approach was chosen to allow the maximum flexibility for representing a large spectrum of stories and themes while maintaining a consistency in look and feel. From specific archival moments in history, to ethereal cultural stories, we brought each Ward’s meaning to life with the best technique at our disposal.
