Disinformation is everywhere, spreading like a supervillain’s evil plan. But superheroes won’t save us—we need everyday people. Enter: XIKA!
To create the perfect hero for this story, Clubcamping looked to everyday people to save us - enter: Xika! In the run up to elections in Latin America Clubcamping observed an influx of disinformation and the concept was born, to illustrate disinformation as a mind-warping force that needs regular people to fight against it.
Blending humour and seriousness within the film, Clubcamping brought to life a vibrant Latin American world filled with colour and contrasted by the Disinformation monsters, mutating through the spread. Taking on a more comic-book design style each frame packs a punch, literally!
