Our team of three people were asked to come up with a quick Flash presentation of suggested actions to be taken by staff in various settings should the university face a energy stage alert or critical load demand reduction request.

The idea was to stimulate thought with humor and facts. The presentation had to be quick. We developed an idea of showing both office space and lab space at the same time. The two characters would carelessly turn on everything in sight and disregard their E-mail warnings. We would also give the viewer an interactive part by allowing them to turn off the items to help the situation. The viewer also has to click the button after they read the E-mail.

We used a storyboard for the whole piece to insure proper flow. I did the graphics and the Flash animation. Another programmer worked on the turning off components. We all collaborated on the story line.
