My video submission is a short film under 2 minutes, shining
light some of the questions that come to mind when considering
an ideal future in which we coexist in balance with our oceans.
The hope is not to re-emphasise existing conservation media,
but to deliver a message that conveys aspiration, educates and
encourages the viewer to reflect, in a call for action.
A compilation of video footage is used to visually represent the
beauty and wonder of the ocean, consisting of some of my own
footage (Drone/Underwater/Digital Camera) and some from
reputable sources such as the Schmidt Ocean Institute and
freelance videographers. Video Editing (VFX, Transitions,
Composites, Colour Grading) and Sound design (Original
score, SFX) is used to transition between imagery in a cohesive
manner.
Variations in musical aesthetic throughout the piece
are used to convey emotion and the sincerity of some of the topics addressed.
