The Amazonas Project and success stories in water management, for OTCA

The Amazonas Project, created in 2012 by OTCA, ANA and ABC, brings Amazonian countries together to share information on the basin's rivers, train technicians and build a regional monitoring network. With its second phase approved, the project selected eight successful water management initiatives to showcase at the 8th World Water Forum in Brasília. The event was little more than a month away, and the material had to work on screens and kiosks, for an international audience, even without sound.

Based on texts and photos sent by the partners, we wrote the script for two videos: a more engaging one on the project's history and plans, and a descriptive one with the title, location, approach and results of each initiative.

We recorded the voice-over, created the graphics and delivered the videos with subtitles in Portuguese, English and Spanish, meeting the client's diplomatic requirements, such as maps of the Amazon without border lines.

The videos present figures from the first phase, such as six telemetric stations installed in Bolivia, Colombia and Peru and 268 technicians trained in 15 courses. The initiatives shown include the Anaconda floating classroom in Colombia, which trained 10,000 people, and mangrove restoration with bamboo structures in Suriname.
