Reflection
We have always been interested in the world around us, especially in terms of the environment and the ocean. Our summers are often spent traveling to places that are absolutely stunning and completely natural. In light of recent political events, however, there’s a possibility that places like this will not exist in the future, and it’s rather troubling to us that there are people who deny climate change, ocean pollution, and other extremely pressing environmental issues. We geared our film toward a younger viewer base, creating a humorous music video that still made obvious the problems we are facing. In many cases, students need an extra bit of humor and light-heartedness to genuinely connect with something, and ocean pollution is extremely important to connect to, in part because humans are largely to blame.
