March is considered to be World Water Month and [reusable water bottle brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-kids) Cupanion is determined to make a social difference through directed hydration donations. The Guelph-based company worked with Toronto agency 'send+receive' to create an online video with product placement and African-inspired music. The video is an acoustic masterpiece as each sound is created with a Cupanion cup or bottle with varying levels of water.

Directed by Scott Pommier of [Untitled Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asahi) and composed by Mark Rajakovic at [Pirate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greatwhite-cheddar-puffs), the video for World Water Month is not simply a piece of entertainment. As part of the 'Fill it Forward' initiative, Cupanion has promised to donate a cup of water to WaterAid Canada, matching the total hits of its acoustically sound World Water Month video.
