Plastic Pollution Project, complete, with credits
from Motiongraphics Friday, January 31, 2014 12:29 PM

A short motion graphic film about plastic pollution in our seas. The
source material is a series of high resolution stills, stitched together
into a wide panorama extending to over 50,000 pixels. Artwork has been
done to separate the original footprints in the sand. These are revealed
as the shadow of a figure created in CG walks through the scene. Water
effects, ripples, waves and splashes are composited over the walking
graphic with the sound of the waves and footsteps provided by location
recordings made on the same day as the shoot in Marazion, Cornwall. The
debris featured in the piece is as found on the day.

2D and 3D animated graphic overlays illustrate the origin of some of the
material and a text commentary gives statistics relevant to the plastic
and other items featured.

Thanks to FreeSFX for some of the incidental sound effects. Thanks also
for support, advice and encouragement from Plastic Oceans, 5Gyres and
the Plastic Soup Foundation. The film will be showing on their sites soon.
