I got some inspiration!

Here are some videos about recycling that I found on YouTube.

There's nothing like using humor to advertise a good cause.

This one is just fascinating. It's not boring, so please watch it!


This one's good too--informative, entertaining, brings up important points, covers the basics--you get the point. It looks a little cheesy though, but that is purposeful.

New ending in development-Help me!

Final project concept

Yoshi!! My final project concept is an environmental awareness movie! I don't really know what else to call it, but it's not a documentary-type deal or like "An Inconvenient Truth," but it does involve didactical aims. I don't think I want to actually shoot this idea, but that decision is not set in stone exactly. Anyway, the project is entitled:

Shades of Green (I'm open to constructive criticism of the title)

"Elevator" Line: Stanley Crosston, a young man barely in his twenties, wants to convince the general public that environmental issues are just as relevant as economic issues.

Explanation of Theme: The  sub-theme is "fight for what you believe in," including the motifs: passionate youth activism; the ripple effect; man vs. nature or man v. man vs. nature; environmental ethics.
