Website nearly finished- Coded - lots of development happened in the process of coding the website. We learnt lots of possibilities in the way we can display our information through the coding process

PLASTIC OCEAN

Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year.

Wind and ocean currents direct rubbish that has been dumped, dropped, buried or blown out of landfills into 11 patches in the ocean, over a period of about five years.

Of these, the best known is the "great Pacific rubbish patch" in the northwest Pacific which stretches about 700,000sq km.

The water surrounding the island is littered with plastic detritus eaten by fish and mammals and regurgitated by birds to their chicks. Nearly all albatross chicks are fed plastic. Researchers found 17 bottle caps inside one adult bird's carcass.

EXPENSIVE THIRST

USING MULTIPLE PLASTIC BOTTLES

- You're contributing to the $60.4m spent on bottled water per year in New Zealand

- Releasing harmful chemicals such as BPA into the air and your body

- Wasting your money

- Increasing plastic pollution levels

USING ONE PLASTIC BOTTLE

- Saving thousands of litres of oil and water that is used during the production of plastic bottles

- Saving marine life from consuming toxic plastic particles

- Using the resource’s you have available at home for free

- Supporting local water systems

Saving money

WHAT CAN WE DO?

Buy a stainless steel thermo or polycarbonate bottle and use it. By being an active consumer and purchasing a reusable bottle, not only are you considering the future of our ocean life but you in turn save some serious money.  

Know that bottled water is no healthier for you then tapped water. The different requirements for the bottled water industry and municipal water treatment plants, bottled water is under far laxer safety codes. In reality, water is just water

Find fun ways to reuse your old plastic water bottles instead of throwing them out. Like using them to plant herbs for your garden, make a plant waterer, a birdfeeder… the possibilities are endless, so get creative.

Testing our illustrations on after effects - working with our storyboard 

Start of video - Feedback- need to work on the colours

Website development - We tested both an infinite scroll and tabs

Wave illustrations we did - We ended up using about 5 key frames for this scene

[emiliagracevcd]

Final supermarket drawing - We figured out that a smooth way of transition from the supermarket isle  to the bottle shelf would be to draw it in one frame and use key frames to switch as if you’ve moved your head to look at the bottles

Illustrations that we worked into photoshop - working with stop start motion

[emiliagracevcd]

Before we started animating our film we went to the supermarket, filmed and took photos acting out our idea so we can figure out how we want to draw the imagery for our animation. 

When we had the idea to base off our images to the scenes we took here, by doing this we got our perspective right.

Testing

We started working on our visual approach and applying them to our motion graphic from the last class. This is the first cut we did of the opening scene. We did this through translucent paper. 

It looks good but we have decided to take this approach and reder it though a wacom tablet, and add colour - shades of water colour through it. We can put a bit of time into this scene, as we are using it twice in the video- At the start and end.    

[emiliagracevcd]

This is our first cut of the story board using motion graphics. It gives us a rough idea of the structure of our video, the audio we want to use and the facts we are using.

Visuals - This is not the visual style we are going for but the scenes are correct. Our visual style wants to be a hand drawn illustrations that are constantly moving, like a movie. 

Our music - Mac Demarco - We want to have the illusion of the start and end part of the movie to be the music in your headphones. Mac Demarco sounds are common amongst students, its a sound that many of us probably listen to in our headphones while in the supermarket. 

---- transition between songs--- sound if taking the headphones out and diving into the ocean. --- back on when coming out of the bottle, into the supermarket. 

Middle song: Friend [lover] by Evenings evokes a strong feeling of diving into the ocean in a way thats curious and with hands moving and facts popping up its powerful. We want to add more deeper tones to this music track aswell. 

This visual also communicates the first person view we want to pursue. This works with our ideals of connecting nature to the person. It confronts them amongst the horrible effects plastic bottles have on the ocean.

Website Name Creation Process

Concluded with the name; ‘Tapped’ 

We chose this because it alludes to the solution to our problem we are presenting. We wanted it to be clear and straight to the point.
