Cutting The Glare For Migraine Sufferers

CMM's unique video aims to get people wearing sunglasses on June 21

What’s funnier than a Sumo-wrestling penguin wearing orange sunglass?”

OTTAWA, CANADA, June 19, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A video pairing penguins and sunglasses as a show of support for migraine headache sufferers is a unique creation by Chocolate Moose Media (CMM) for the Association of Migraine Disorders (AMD).

The 3D, 90-second animated video called “Show You Care, Wear A Pair” follows a penguin named Bob through a manic day. It’s June 21 - AMD’s Migraine Awareness Day - and Bob is surrounded by a city full of other penguins wearing sunglasses. He’s not sure what to make of it.

“This campaign is intended to give (supporters) a simple symbol, sunglasses, that they can rally around.  Sunglasses should be a....call that migraines deserve attention.” says Frederick Godley, an Otolaryngologist and AMD Executive Board member.

Migraine headaches affect 12 percent of the population and are made worse by bright light. Sunglasses are one of the best ways to mitigate the effect. CMM founder Firdaus Kharas put his irrepressible imagination to work to convey the importance of showing support.

“My approach has always been to combine humour and animation to make something memorable.  What’s funnier than a Sumo-wrestling penguin wearing orange sunglass?” he says.
