<![CDATA[This study discusses the design of a two-dimensional (2D) short animated film intended as an educational medium to raise awareness among young people about the dangers of online gambling. The increasing involvement of youth in online gambling activities serves as the primary background for this creative project. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method with a descriptive qualitative approach, consisting of pre-production, production, and post-production stages. In the pre-production stage, data were collected through observation and interviews with individuals who had prior experience in online gambling. The collected information was developed into a storyline, character designs, and storyboards representing the everyday lives of modern youth. The production process utilized Toonboom Harmony 17 software with a combination of puppet animation and traditional frame-by-frame animation techniques to produce dynamic and expressive character movements. The post-production stage involved visual and audio editing to strengthen the delivery of the film’s moral message. The final outcome of this study is a short 2D animated film that presents an educational narrative about the negative impacts of online gambling, including financial loss, social disruption, and psychological pressure. The results demonstrate that animated media can serve as an effective communication tool to convey moral and social messages creatively and engagingly to a young audience.]]>
