CLIENT
We highlight TNC’s innovative conservation approaches, ensuring Indigenous peoples, local communities, and human well-being are at the center of rigorous, data-driven science, policy, and effective, scalable solutions.
SERVICES
In this video, we celebrate the anniversary of the Science for Nature and People Partnership, highlighting the impactful collaborations that bridge science and conservation.
The Science for Nature and People Partnership was founded in 2013 as a first-of-its-kind collaboration between The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and National Center for Ecological Analysis & Synthesis (NCEAS). This partnership is only continuing to grow as it contributes to the work being done to usher in a bright future for people and nature.
We created this video as a distillation of the key points of TNC’s ‘Blue Guide to Coastal Resilience’. This Guide enables disaster risk reduction practitioners to learn about how nature-based solutions (NbS) can protect people and property specifically in coastal areas. We also designed a collection of social media graphics to extend the reach of the information in the video, along with Bahasa language versions of all elements of the campaign.
Even though soil is one of the largest carbon pools, globally storing more organic carbon than vegetation, soils aren’t always managed in a climate-smart way. We made this video as an introduction to Soils Revealed, an interactive map tool for policymakers, NGOs, researchers, and land managers to help them visualize ongoing carbon losses from our soil as well as the powerful potential to reverse that trend.
We produced this video for The Sustainability Accelerator – created by The Nature Conservancy in partnership with Techstars. Their first-of-its kind collaboration harnesses and directs technological innovation to help solve the world’s food, water and climate challenges. The accelerator provides a way to systematically identify disruptive, commercially viable technologies and quickly bring them to scale.
More Work
Trust for Public Land
We assist TPL in crafting narratives centered on the human experience. Our stories showcase TPL’s efforts to provide park access, support community-led projects, create walkable communities, and combat climate change’s disproportionate impact on communities of color.
National Geographic
We assist the National Geographic Society and their partners in crafting stories about science, nature, and people, animating complex science data, raising awareness about climate change and biodiversity loss, and integrating National Geographic Explorers’ work into classrooms.
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
We collaborate with HHMI, their partners, and Day’s Edge Productions to create vibrant and educational animated segments for their science-focused videos, helping to transform complex concepts into visually engaging stories.
Biomimicry Institute
We partnered with Biomimicry Institute two years in a row to produce a series of animated explainer videos for 20 finalists in the Ray of Hope Prize competition. It is now more vital than ever that we as a species prioritize learning everything that we can from nature; internalizing its many brilliant and varied strategies so that we can better face the challenges before us.

The News Literacy Project
We worked with The News Literacy Project to create a series of animated spots as public service announcements covering how you can vote during the United States 2020 presidential election.
Denver Museum of Nature & Science
We created these playful science communication pieces for the Genetics of Taste Lab, a citizen science project inviting viewers to join in at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The videos aimed to encourage participation with scientists to explore what DNA and the microbiome reveal about your sense of taste.
The Lizard’s Tale
We worked with Day’s Edge Productions for Harvard University and John Templeton Foundation to create the animations and graphics for a 7-part web series about anole lizards.
US Forest Service
We have been commissioned by the US Forest Service to develop videos, interpretive content, graphic design, and exhibits. We love sharing cultural and ecological stories with the public that visit our National Forests.
Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership
We collaborated with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership to create an animated video and accompanying newspaper ad to advocate for funding locally-led water conservation efforts.
Bird Genoscape Project
We worked with Day’s Edge Productions and researchers from the Center for Tropical Research on the recently launched Bird Genoscape Project, an effort to map the population-specific migratory routes of 100 species of migratory songbirds by harnessing the power of genomics. We produced the animated sequences for their film on Mapping the Flyways of the Americas.
Land Trusts, Parks & Open Space
We love our Parks & Open Spaces, and are always eager to work with the entities and Land Trusts that protect and steward them.
Municipalities
We love working with municipalities of every size, doing what we can to help them enact changes for the better, for the people, animals and lands they oversee.
Higher Education
We have produced videos for several higher education institutions across Colorado — and beyond.
Legacy of the Plains Museum
We partnered with Exhibit Design Associates to develop a permanent exhibition at the Legacy of the Plains Museum adjacent to Scotts Bluff National Monument in Gering, Nebraska. The exhibition tells the stories of human and agricultural history on the High Plains and includes an impressive collection of pioneer and early community artifacts.
Amaktoolik Studios
We have collaborated closely with this Alaska Native-owned professional architectural services firm to help boost the voices of Indigenous peoples across the US.

We created a series of videos for the Vision Zero Network, who are committed to helping communities reach their goal of Vision Zero — reducing the number of traffic fatalities to zero — while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all.
Thorne Nature Preschool
We have provided several videos for Thorne Nature Preschool, which provides early childhood educational experiences that initiate young children into a deep relationship with the natural world. Early exposure and integration into nature can foster the next generation of passionate environmental stewards.
GCF Taskforce
We developed a video for this unique subnational collaboration focused on protecting tropical forests, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and promoting realistic pathways to forest-maintaining rural development.
