Interesting Green Promo
September 7th, 2010
An old friend shared me this one on Facebook, and thought it was an interesting piece of “green advertising.” Always been drawn to, and thought provoking design that can actually change the world… and I thought I should say that I am interested in knowing how this would be deemed to work successfully – financially – actively. But definately like this theme and green feel for the whole look and feel – liked it enough to post it here for your review.

This is a personal project that is truly amazing. This film is 100% ‘real’, but there are some new techniques for the author here, such as using time lapse to create the illusion of forward movement for the helicopter ocean scenes. These flight sequences would not be possible without the skill and patience of Chief Pilot Peter Yates. Thanks also to Trevor Cracknell (for getting wet!) and Family.
