The problem

No smell. No color. No obvious warning.

Without testing, you would never know radon was there.

Which makes an invisible health risk pretty easy to ignore.

The move

We needed to give people something they could actually picture.

So we made the invisible visible.

Lilly

We created Lilly Lungs to turn an unfamiliar health topic into something families could understand.

A father and daughter start reading her story.

Then the story starts happening around them.

The world

Live action, illustration and animation all lived together.

The science stayed real.

The way we explained it didn’t have to sound stiff or complicated. It just needed to make sense to real people.
