For World Earth Day, we partnered with This is Pacifica to contribute an animation to their film, highlighting how green roofs and vertical gardens can help cool urban environments. By transforming gray rooftops into lush, living spaces, we can reduce the heat island effect, create healthier cities, and reconnect urban life with nature.
Our animation visualizes this transformation—showing how trees, plants, and green walls can turn cityscapes into natural cooling systems. Through thoughtful motion design and organic growth systems, we created a visual language that captures the fluidity and expansion of nature in an urban landscape.
→ In this project I worked on:
• Led storytelling, pacing, and concept development
• Ensured the animation seamlessly fit into the larger film while delivering an impactful narrative
• Contributed to the design process by creating organic growth systems to visualize the city’s transformation
