Saving Our World Is Easy (1:07)
Zanetta K, Olivia M - New York, NY
Our animation represents the ideas that we have in store for a future project. Our plan would be to choose 10 students throughout New York City, brief them on the effects they're carbon footprint has in their own community and have them each make a pledge to find a concrete step to reduce their own carbon footprint in the global community. We would create their animated counterparts which would reenact the actual interviews. We will be using all recycled materials (newspapers, magazines, bottles, cans, fabric) to recreate figures and back drops. We would increase the production quality by using Adobe After-Effects and other programs (Garage Band, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, etc) to ensure the quality is great enough to be seen by the masses. This approach allows us to share real teens voices and visions in a fresh and edgy way. Our unique ambition is to create these stories with the visual flare that can engage viewers in ways that no one else can. By capturing the attention of the audience with our animation style, we can ultimately reach a broader scope of viewers and get the message of worldwide environmental change out to as many as possible. With your help, we can give everyone the insight they need to change our world for the greater.

I think this is a great
I think this is a great idea! I love that you are combining documentary and animation into one!
One thing to think about when creating your final video is the idea that depending on the pacing of your video and the substance of your interviews, you may need to consider only including some of the 10 interviews in your final video - it may be stronger to have 5 solid interviews rather than 10 thirty second interviews.
Great pitch! I hope to see your final video!
i really like this!
especially the idea of animating using recycled material-- very clever! when doing the final piece, perhaps pace it a bit faster than the pitch-- the opening animation went a bit slow. good luck!!
