Drought Animation
A collaboration with the National Drought Mitigation Center. This project was aimed at redesigning the Hydro-Illogical cycle and creating a companion animation showing the cycle in motion.
The hand-drawn animation begins with Apathy. She sits scrolling on her phone unaware of the environmental issues affecting her community. Drought enters in a panic and attempts to get her attention. He shakes her, but to no avail. A beam of hope, Awareness shines a light on Drought, bringing Awareness to the community. Concern picks up on the message and spreads the news to the community. Panic ensues as the community gathers to protest and tries to raise awareness. As tensions start to boil over, Rain falls, cooling the community. With the drought seemingly under control, the community goes back to their regular lives assuming that the issue at hand is resolved. The animation ends back at Apathy as she continues to sit on her phone. She scrolls right past a post about the drought protest.
