About the Animation Team and
the Making of the Animation

The animation team has spent a lot of valuable time working on their project. They put much thought into brainstorming and forming ideas. They finally decided to create an animation based on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, otherwise known as the Pacific Trash Vortex. This is located around the North Pacific Gyre in the Pacific Ocean, and it contains high concentrations of plastic, chemical sludge, and other debris. After coming up with this idea, they assigned different frames to each of the animation team's members, and together they drafted a storyboard.

When the storyboard was arranged, they began to create the basic animation. The animation team put the most extensive time and effort into the creation of the animation. Unfortunately their first draft of the animation was around a minute, which is over the required thirty second time limit. To revise this, they decided to take out multiple scenes and speed up the voices. With this improvement the MOE animation was completed.

Garbage Patch Kids:

"The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is comprised of both large and microscopic plastic particles floating in a Pacific gyre the size of Texas. In order to change our world or -even- outer space, we filtered the patch (or cosmic atmosphere) on a massive scale with a fine weave Kevlar net."
