Recycling Project Ideas

Recycling project ideas

· Heavily characterised bins , have bins feeling ill when given the wrong type of rubbish, excited when people approach with the right type and sad when ignored.

· Have bins spitting rubbish at the back of people’s heads when they put the wrong rubbish in the wrong type of bin.

· Safety bin man – overly exaggerated recycling geek shouting at people for recycling the wrong way. Then promote, ‘no one wants to be around that guy, recycle so these type of people don’t exist’.

· Hippies jamming love songs around the bins then when they see someone recycling wrong they turn into mad zombies and kill everyone.

· Si-Fi wee alien man goes sorting rubbish in a sick recycling spaceship.

· Game show, “which bin will you choose” sick theme tune 4 episodes.

· A native American style dude (red Indian) cry’s when people put stuff in the wrong bin.

· Indiana Jones parody – puts paper in bottle bin. Bins shake and an animated ball of rubbish chases Jones.

· Cage comes down traps The person not recycling correctly and Vinnie jones comes out the bin raging.

· People appear form the bins shaking their head frowning and tutting.

· Bins pull people into them when the wrong rubbish is placed in them, a classic animated rumble ( bang, pow..) when the guy comes back out he is all messed up, when he walks away the bins spit out a can and hit him into the back of the head.

· Die hard recycling – die hard parody, terrorist hold the college hostage, the recycling men come, gather all the tin cans and turn them into to a bazooka to take out all the terrorists and save the day.

· Guys go to put rubbish in the right bin and a bunch of choirs come out and mad applause with balloons, confetti, fireworks and happy vibes.

· Wrong bin, wrong rubbish, world explodes. Simple, then a classic old school TV presenter comes out and screams [LOOK WHAT YOUR DOING, DO YOU WANT THIS!!!!!!!! AAAAAARGH]

· Bins get given the wrong rubbish so they steal something off the person (hair, moustache, soul)

· Land fill sites are full (personification) and recycling bins are starving.

· Bins high five students for putting the right rubbish in them, and they become friends, they walk hand in hand into the sunset from a clean college campus.

· Recyclopse vs Polluticon. A mythical evil demon known as Polluticon has infected the minds of the public to not recycle, our hero, Recyclopse storms down and rages a battle with Polluticon, freeing the inhabitants of earth from Polluticon mind ray, saving the earth from destruction.

Recycling Project Research

Visual Effects (vfx) - are the various processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shot. Visual effects involve the integration of live-action footage and generated imagery to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, expensive, impractical, or simply impossible to capture on film.

Visual effects can be separated into 4 categories

· Matte Paintings - digital or traditional paintings or photographs which serve as background plates for keyed or rotoscoped elements.

· Live action effects - Live-action effects: keying actors or models through blue screening and green screening.

· Digital animation - modeling, computer graphics lighting, texturing, rigging, animating, and rendering computer-generated 3D characters, particle effects, digital sets, backgrounds.

· Digital effects are the various processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated with or from photographic assets. Digital effects often involve the integration of still photography and computer generated imagery (CGI) in order to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly, or simply impossible to capture in camera.
