PTS XS is a platform designed for children, teens, and adults to grow together, fostering exploration and dialogue through equality, sincerity, and diversity. To strengthen the channel’s identity and enrich its storytelling, this project embodies the idea: "A big world begins with small steps."
JL DESIGN led the creative direction, breaking away from traditional channel promos. To reflect the diverse age groups of PTS XS's audience, 12 short ID videos were crafted, ensuring each stage of childhood had a distinct narrative space. Director LEEBO introduced the theme of "Birthday Wishes," capturing perspectives from ages 4 to 18. The approach emphasizes realism, imagination, and emotional connection—bringing children’s daily lives to the forefront while resonating with parents and inviting them to see through their children's eyes.
With a documentary-style approach, the director captured raw, unfiltered moments from real children, adding depth and emotional weight to the storytelling. The 12 short videos highlight PTS XS's signature perspective—amplifying children's authentic expressions and thoughts with sincerity and creativity. These films reinforce the channel’s mission to "grow with children" while inviting audiences of all ages to engage in heartfelt dialogue and embrace the power of even the smallest wishes in a vast world.
