There are many global warming videos on the Internet, but this recent one made by designer and animator Panop Koonwat can easily be deemed the most bizarre of them all.
It's a psychedelic and quirky animation called 'Cupidliculous' that is all about the global issues rooted from Adam, Eve and Cupid. In the alternative love story, Adam and Eve start a whirlwind of overpopulation, overconsumption and global warming upon being struck by Cupid's arrow. The Thai animator illustrates the problems through vibrant and splashy motion graphics that fuse 2D cel-animation and 3D techniques together.
Every frame in the film is fast-paced and though it is comical and the main objective is design, it still represents and important message about our deteriorating world.
