Project: UN sponsored Global Warming PSA
Design and build a set for a student project
I production designed a Public Service Announcement for the United Nations. The commercial takes place 50 years from now, when Global Warming has ruined the planet. There is barely any life left – it is toxic and wind-swept. Once humanity realized they’d done irreparable damage to the earth, they concentrated on relocating to another planet. The PSA shows a middle-aged man disguising himself as a woman so he can board one of the space shuttles leaving earth.

Moving Day...

Exterior establishing shot of "the Bunker"

Survival equipment, rations, and modern kitsch

In the style of "Lost"...filming on the set.

Walk of shame...having missed the escape vessels, our character stumbles back into his bunker and watches the shuttle leave without him.



Signs of the Apocalypse.

The news wall...thank you all for your contributions!
The final PSA can be seen here on the director, Gregg Casson’s website.

design looks amazing as always.
The mood and message... PERFECT, not to mention the look of it is beautiful. I hope you keep doing this type of work. We need talent like yours working on these issues.
Me... well I just bought an old 85' Mercedes that I'm running on used vegetable oil collected from local restaurants in Temple City. I'm going to start posting about it and other environmentally related things on my blog and I can't wait to feature "Moving Day" and "Blowing Smoke".
Thanks Frank!
