TRANSCRIPT
Using the Chipotle Commercial as a framework for video/animation:1 Start with a 50,000’ view using brilliant colors, blues, lush green, calming sounds
of waves, animal sounds2 Images of 1st Americans and old land uses3 Images of Voyageurs, outposts – 1700’s4 Mid 1800’s land-use changes start. Cities, population centers, manufacturing5 Invasives and pollution start appearing6 Colors of the background are changing and becoming more subdued. 7 Modern times: a fish, a farmer, an angler, a child have worried looks and
furrowed brows (if a fish can have a furrowed brow)8 A big pause as they all look around, scanning the land, sky, horizon9 Colors start to brighten
10 Best practices start filling the screens (appearing), rain barrels, parks, green roofs, buffer strips, etc.
11 Solution of Collaboration, networking, interactive site, web appearing on clothing, buildings, side of trucks, billboards, TV/computer screens/ smart devices.
