Glacial Balance
Glacial Balance is a documentary directed by Ethan Steinman that explores the effects of climate change in our world, paying special attention to the melting of the glaciers. This project was very special for me: was the first time I worked in a long documentary and not only was a great learning experience, but it was amazing being able to collaborate in a project that carries such an important message for all of us, and will hopefully have a positive impact on others and on our planet. I designed and animated the credits and the lower thirds.
GLACIAL BALANCE takes us from Colombia to Argentina, getting to know those who are the first to be affected by the melting glacial reserve, the canaries in the mine. Along the way, we are accompanied by scientists who give us a perspective on what is happening in the natural world, and from that, we learn of the chain reaction effect these disappearing glaciers are having worldwide. The film offers the viewer an opportunity to hear, in the locals’ own words, the human impacts of a climate out of control. From coffee, potato, and quinoa farmers, to fruit and wine exporters, and even miners of sacred glacial ice blocks near the Equator, GLACIAL BALANCE offers the viewer a chance to visit some of Earth’s most distant, inaccessible, and spectacularly beautiful landscapes.
