An educational animation telling the story mycorrhizal networks in self-organization of interior Douglas-fir forests.
The animation production includes the implementation of metaphor within stories, alluring hand-drawn visualizations, illustrative views, dynamic transformations of visual forms, and cinematic sequences that reveal the cause and effect of human action. In this project, our teams partner with climate researchers at Penn and other centers and institutions to produce animated videos that meet their communication needs. We use hand-drawn and collage animation to produce persuasive videos that communicate emerging risks and obstacles to climate action as well as solutions and new perspectives.
