Reciprocate

I made this short film for a job interview to make a campaign for the future Forest of Dean Biosphere Reserve... They wanted it to be multi-sensory as much as possible, to enable people with sight and hearing disabilities to experience the film as well, so I used text, spoken word and sound design to describe what was happening visually. The competition was tough and I didn't get it (my films are educational and engaging but not persuasive enough to change fixed mindsets) but I'm still glad I made this little example film and they gave me some very positive feedback which was a boost in itself. The film symbolises the marriage of people and nature, the cyclical relationship of giving and taking over time, asking "what has the landscape given me?  What can I give back?"
