An advocacy project on coral reefs. A seemingly idyllic sequence of corals that takes an unexpected turn as human pollution and global warming become deadly. The corals are dying, and with them, so is our future.

TreatmentIn this PSA, we focused on contrast: juxtaposing the dreamy, ethereal beauty of a coral reef with the devastating effect of human-caused pollution and climate change in coral reef bleaching. Since this process is happening currently on a global scale, we chose to depict this in a powers-of-ten reveal at the end of the sequence which leads into our call to action.
