– Jalisco Cómo Vamos –

Stop motion animation

september 2015

The research team at Jalisco Cómo Vamos drew out a profile of the average Guadalajara citizens (we chose to depict them as one man and one woman) from their 2014 data to present to the mayors who were about to take office in September. To present their findings we produced a short video narrating what their needs and concerns were.
