Details

Ptarium is on a mission to transform recyclable plastics and metals into 3D printable materials, creating new business and social opportunities for communities. This project aims to develop a compelling short film that narrates Ptarium's innovative process and its potential impact on local economies and sustainability. The film should highlight the journey from waste to 3D printing, showcasing the technology, material optimization and the benefits it brings to communities. Learners will apply their knowledge of cinematography, storytelling, and environmental science to create a narrative that is both educational and inspiring. The project will involve scriptwriting, filming, and editing, focusing on conveying a clear and engaging story that aligns with Ptarium's vision.

Deliverables

The primary deliverable is a 5-7 minute short film that effectively communicates Ptarium's recycling and 3D printing process. Additional deliverables include a storyboard, a script, and a promotional trailer.
