PARKS PROJECT
This project is a promotional video for Parks Project, a company that raises money and awareness to preserve the National Parks in the US. Their message is to “leave parks better than you found it,” and often hold volunteer excursions for cleanup. The video takes you through the journey of a person on awaiting and then attending a volunteer park cleanup day. Intentionally, there are no actual people featured. The idea is it could be (and should be) any one of us!
The inspiration for the graphic style was from highly stylized postcards of the national parks that have been circulating for a few years now, and my favorite element is the clean-up time-lapse that takes you to a beautiful sunset under an natural arch.
ADDITIONAL 3D FUN
A little bonus section for you if you made it this far. Spent some time creating a tractor and then having it pick up objects and also crash into objects. Designing the elements was a learning curve and I loved animating the camera. I had a specific vision from the start for each cut and it turned out exactly as I wanted it to. Here’s to more 3D!
