Initial Horniman idea (scrapped)

My original idea for the Horniman project

Inspired by: Dear Future Generations: Sorry by Prince Ea (youtube)

Instead of showing the disasters happening and invoking negative emotions, start with the destroyed earth

Then move back:

1. bare filling with dirty water
2. dirty water becoming clean water (first the ocean and then moving back – e.g. streams)
3. Corals re-forming
4. grass starts growing
5. trees rise again (backwards chopping)
6. animals re-appear (hunters moving backwards – e.g. dead animals that were shot now coming back)
7. forest fires burning in reverse
8. glaciers melting backwards and slowly forming
9. water going back through pipe to show a running tap
10. lights switched on everywhere
11. radiators all turned on
12. Everything stops and the character now has the option to turn everything off

Essentially, showing that even the smallest actions have the biggest consequences.

Not pessimistic and shows that there is still hope. We can still change and make a difference if we start now.
