Visualizing Climate Change

The science of climate change and the warming trends are difficult to understand for the average person. Our challenge was to create a clear visual that drove home the truth behind the effects of global warming.

What lies beneath

Coral is a fascinating animal (that's right, it's an animal!) and the time-lapses showed how coral grows, requiring our team to digitally slice the coral and show how the skeleton builds over time.

Underwater, handheld time-lapses were extremely difficult to align. So, we needed to take the images into Nuke, morph them into alignment and finesse playback to create watchable videos of coral bleaching captured for the first time in nature.
