Going Underground
Going Underground is a short, experimental motion graphic piece addressing the topic of climate change and how it affects the world we inhabit. It utilizes stark, sketched artwork frame blended to create a sense of movement. The piece seeks to explore the effect on both the planet and its populace, whilst referencing the theme of subterranean fiction as a means of responding to the worsening climatic conditions.
