BBK –
Explainer Film Series

For the BBK (Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance)Fish Blowing Bubbles produced a multi-part explanatory film series for the BBK (Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance), focusing on structural protection against natural hazards.
The films convey, in an accessible and visually powerful way, how preventive measures can save lives and minimize damage.
Through a mix of live action, 3D animation, and clear storytelling, the series makes knowledge accessible — and inspires people to take action.

Challenge

The BBK faced the challenge of communicating complex technical topics such as earthquake, fire, and weather protection to a broad public audience.
The films needed to be scientifically accurate while remaining emotionally engaging, appealing to both professionals and private citizens.
Additionally, they had to raise awareness of preventive measures and build trust in governmental protection strategies.
A particular challenge lay in translating abstract physical processes into clear, easily understandable visuals.

Our Solution

Fish Blowing Bubbles developed a cinematic concept that combines information, emotion, and design.
Detailed 3D animations illustrated construction methods, protection mechanisms, and physical processes in a vivid and engaging way.
The narrative follows a clear structure: danger – impact – prevention.
This approach transforms complex knowledge into visually memorable stories.
Each film was given its own color and lighting atmosphere to differentiate the specific themes of earthquake, fire, and hail both visually and emotionally.

/SOME FACTS ABOUT THE PROJECT

Making Knowledge Tangible
The production of the BBK explanatory film series aimed to present complex topics like earthquake, fire, and weather protection in a way that is both understandable and visually engaging. Modern 3D animation and clear visual language turned abstract processes into accessible, emotionally resonant stories about prevention.
‍
Architecture Meets Safety
Each film focuses on a specific natural hazard, showing how intelligent construction and materials can protect buildings. Realistic simulations illustrate how forces act on structures — and how thoughtful engineering can provide safety.

Prevention That Resonates
Rather than presenting facts alone, the films follow a clear dramaturgy: danger – cause – protection. This creates both tension and understanding, allowing viewers to grasp why preventive measures are so vital.

Realism Through Design
Careful lighting, realistic materials, and fluid motion ensure a believable, immersive experience. Scientific precision and cinematic aesthetics work hand in hand to make knowledge intuitive and impactful.

Conclusion
The BBK film series demonstrates how visual storytelling can make complex information understandable and relevant.
Fish Blowing Bubbles shows how design, narrative, and technical excellence combine to create powerful communication.
