2014 Motion Graphics exercise by second year students Anchit Mathur and Rohit Guha at the Supinfocom Rubika Animation School at the DSK International Campus in Pune, India.

The brief was to create a short Motion Graphics piece on a chosen theme related to human rights. Research, scripting, storyboarding, graphic and sound design was part of the expected pre production to be generated by them before greenlight for production. They had to generate the project from scratch in two weeks. Teamwork was paramount and taken as one of the main criteria for evaluation.

There are approximately 300,000 child soldiers around the world used as fighters, cooks, suicide bombers, human shields, messengers, spies or for sexual purposes. Children who are orphans, illiterate and homeless are more likely to be forcibly recruited. Millions have faced brutality disability, psychological trauma and death.Girls make up to 10 to 30% of child soldiers. Children are chosen as weapons because they are innocent, obedient and prone to manipulation. Not only is it the worst crime against human rights, it is a war crime.

Help giving these children the childhood they deserve.
