So the clock is already ticketing... but figured I'd throw this out there if anyone was interested or had a killer idea.
The contest is to make a 30 sec - 1 min film that motivates people to sign a petition about climate change.
And the winning filmmakers get a trip to Cannes.
If you're not interested, just send your amazing ideas this way so I can steal them and pawn them off as my own.

Hey, since rising water levels, drought, ocean acidification, and other water-related things make up some of the greatest concerns (pretty much every climate catastrophe scenario revolves around water), i think you should focus on that. Maybe just keep a shot of waves crashing on a pier on the lake, with some text overlay, or cut between waves, rain, drinking fountains, fish, all things water-related and draw a connection between the modern conveniences of our tame and natural water supply and the potential problems that will mount as glaciers melt and oceans become acidic and lifeless. Let me know what comes of this.
gay.
ok, are you sitting down? good. close your eyes, let me take you there...
classy/ceremonial music, whatever, open to suggestion on that. images. static or animated, you're call. pet rocks (1986-7). garbage pal kids (1989-90). clear cola (1990-1). beanie babies (1996-7). the macerana (1998-99). yada yada, et cetra et cetra. then blam. fads can change, the climate can't. sign whatever meaningless petition it is this week.
set in stone. 40% creative consulting fee. you're welcome.
...and are you just being cute by not embedding or making your web addresses link? what is this, the middle ages??
ohhh, you think you're sooo great 'cause you market old style. newsflash: just like you, old style smells and tastes like stale urine.
start it off with a mom tucking her daughter into bed, peaceful lullaby music, the daughter says 'i wuv you mommy', total kodak moment. Then a guitar wails, and a giant wave crashes down the wall, and there's a polar bear riding a slab of ice on the crest of the wave, and he lands on the bed and he starts biting the girl. pan to the mom, who is screaming and crying, and then the dad runs into the room, and yells "its all my fault, i knew i should've signed that petition! NOOOO!!"
cut to black, some ominous tones, text reads "don't let this happen to you. sign the petition"
Dudes. Awesome ideas.
Zach, awesome. There's a WWF commercial that is really similar to that idea, and it's pretty funny:
