'What is Climate Change?' Animation
One of three animated films for schoolchildren, commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. An engaging and clear explanation of the basic concepts of Climate Change for younger children, creating an emotional connection between personal actions and their impact on the reefs.
Having distilled the learning points, the key challenge was to create a linear storyline that could include all the main events without being too complex. The graphic style is bold and minimalist in order to keep attention focused on the action.
Key learning points
- Human actions are causing climate change
- Climate change is warming the air
- Climate change is causing local weather around Earth to change
- Climate change is bad for corals, fish, turtles, other marine creatures, and coral reefs
