We created this promotional piece for the Recycling Council of British Columbia (RCBC), to advertise their environmental short film competition entitled Trailed Trashed:
“an environmental short film competition that harnesses your creativity to convince the world to stop making garbage! But this is a film competition with a twist. All entries must be in the form of a movie trailer and they all have to convey this year’s waste reduction theme, which is: say NO to disposable coffee cups! Each year in North America we throw away billions of paper coffee cups, wasting trees and creating unnecessary garbage. Create a trailer that helps people make the choice to refuse to use disposable coffee cups!”
If you or anyone you know is interested in partaking or submitting to this competition, check out the website for more details.
This was a lot of fun to create, we decided on a cardboard theme for all the artwork, and fashioned it as a trailer to emphasize the concept of creating a trailer for the competition. We had the lovely Jeff Rechner a.k.a. VoiceBoy narrate it for us in your typical ‘trailer-man voice’ (but even more entertaining than anything else I’ve heard!), and the sound design and score was done by the superbly talented Allan Levy.
The competition was just announced, so we held off until now to share it with you all, we hope you enjoy it.
