A journey to the heart of memory and empathy
Check, Mate is a campaign for Voices of Alzheimer—directed by Carlos Lascano — in collaboration with Nathan Love and McKinney, portraying through handcrafted animation the emotional world of those living with Alzheimer’s.
The project was brought to life using paper-built puppets and sets, blending traditional puppetry techniques with digital effects. Every texture, fold, and shadow was designed to capture the fragility and beauty of the human mind — where imperfection becomes profoundly authentic.
The film unfolds as a poetic, melancholic world in which memories fade and reappear with tenderness. More than telling a story, it invites us to feel it — to recognize ourselves in those fragile fragments that make us human.
👉 Watch the behind-the-scenes video to discover how we built this paper-made universe filled with emotion.
