The Everglades

Alligators? Pythons? Oh my. ​

 

We were approached by our friends at TED-Ed to help create an animated educational film on the Florida Everglades. Not only is this ecosystem vast, complex, and full of wildlife, but it has quite an invasive species problem. Alligators continue to fight their way up the food chain once again. 🐊

Design

Scientifically accurate Designs can be challenging. We decided to pull dozens of Alligator, Everglade, and Florida references. This helped bridge Artistic Freedom with being Scientifically Accurate.

Color

Have you seen the swamps of Florida? or a Florida Sunset? You'll find colors like you've never seen before. We wanted this spot to capture Florida's vibrant palette so we leaned into beautiful, saturated colors.
