Amplifying Ocean's Voice with a Non-Narrative Film
ConceptFor the 2022 United Nations Ocean Conference in Lisbon, the Oceano Azul Foundation aimed to create a film that gave the ocean a voicewithout relying on human narration. The concept highlighted humanitys deep connection to the ocean and the damage caused by illogical actions, while presenting the consequences of these behaviors from the oceans perspective, in a non-catastrophic tone, aligning with Oceano Azuls signature: From the oceans point of view.
Execution
We used a harmonious blend of elements, including an original soundtrack by Nuno Maló, super slow-motion wave footage by Chris Bryan, and stunning underwater visuals from Nuno Sá. Through careful coordination of movement, text, and sound, we conveyed the oceans message, allowing it to speak for itself in a way that was powerful and evocative.
Results
The film successfully communicated the oceans voice, resonating with the audience through its emotional depth and visual beauty. It provided a strong, yet calm message at the UN Ocean Conference, reinforcing Oceano Azuls mission to advocate for ocean conservation in a meaningful and engaging way.
