A rather frightening, sobering interactive video about the dangers of over-population and our limited resources. Featuring Canada’s favourite scientist, David Suzuki.

The project featured integration with the Twitter API as well as a heavy dose of physics-based animation.

I was responsible for:

  • all aspects of Flash programming and code-based animations;
  • connecting Flash to PHP to communicate with the database;
  • connecting Flash to the Twitter API to search for “tweets” containing same text that the user enters at the beginning of the project.
