The challenge
In 2014, Mato Grosso created a committee to adapt REDD+ safeguard indicators to the state's reality, facilitated by the state environment department (Sema) and ICV. With the indicators under public consultation, the committee needed to explain technical concepts to a broad audience and, at the same time, present the process to an international audience at COP21 in Paris. The deadline was about a month, from script to delivery.
The film
What we delivered
- Script
- Frame-by-frame storyboard
- Animation with narration, soundtrack and English subtitles
- DVD cover, label and insert
- 500 DVDs ready for distribution
What we did
We wrote the script, validated by the committee's facilitators, and drew a frame-by-frame storyboard. In the animation, characters and a set of scales show how REDD+ values the standing forest and why safeguards are needed to guarantee the rights of peoples and communities.
The video was finished in Full HD, with narration and English subtitles. We also created the cover, the disc label and an insert summarizing the content with scenes from the animation, and delivered 500 DVDs ready for distribution.
“REDD+ is a way of balancing the scales, because it is a mechanism that values the standing forest, bringing climate and social benefits to local populations.”
