ANIMATION and GIF

“Hugo and Mona”


Authors:
Alison Moora - 15. years old
Marika Ristmäe - 51. years old

 

Hugo and Mona

The purpose of the animation “Hugo and Mona” is to lead the people´s attention to the water pollution and to the need to increase fish stocks.  

We would like to lead public to think about the pollution, to avoid the water pollution by the people. Plastic and other materials that are not decomposing reach to the fish organism in the nature, stop their development and cause death.

During the soviet time there was an overfishing during the decades, as a result is the fish stock has fallen to dangerous level. The lake Peipsi has been always rich of fish and it is important to maintain its species richness.

Message: The yellow frame refers to the famous campaign organised by National Geographic: yellow windows are strategically placed throughout Estonia and are used as popular photo spots. One of such frames is also placed in Mustvee, on the shore of the Lake Peipus. The work demonstrates that the beautiful view seen through such frame can change over time due to the ecological problems of the region. The message -- "Choose your own view" is written in a recognisable NatGeo font and aims to call on the sense of the responsibility of the audience.
