Abstract

New Zealand/Aotearoa children are spending less time outside than previous generations. Extensive research already underscores the many benefits of outdoor play and exposure to nature, ranging from enhanced physical and mental well-being to crucial cognitive development in children. Consequently, it is important to find engaging methods that effectively reach parents and children. This research aimed to explore how using 3D animation and narrative techniques can enhance the accessibility and relatability of the message regarding the importance of outdoor play for both parents and children. This creative exploration resulted in a 3D animated short film that intends to communicate the benefits of outdoor play within a New Zealand context.
