Princess Mononoke – What struck me most was Princess Mononoke’s connection to the forest, and how there is no other motivator for her. I want to portray a strong connection to nature and environment in my project, so I hope to include elements of that.
Nausicaa – One thing that stuck out to me was how Nausicaa is a strong and determined character, and she never gives up on defending what is right. I think that connects really well with solarpunk, and a potential starting point for my project.
Solarpunk – I want to include solarpunk in my video to inspire a new wave of advocacy in my video. I think that including solarpunk attributes will help move my story along and give it a deeper meaning.
Models:
- Tomorrowland. Movie, 2015
- The fact that the movie transports people to different environments is really inspiring for my video.
- Severance, TV Show, 2021
- Severance is about people forgetting their lives when they enter a corporate workspace, and I think that can play into our solarpunk dilemma today.
- Don’t Look Up. Movie, 2021
- This film is all about climate change, and how people are refusing to “just look up”.
