Save the future

by Ali Brohi in With an ever-increasing population, how can we maximise resource efficiency to meet our growing needs?

Synopsis: A young man, standing at the beach notices a bottle near the shore. Approaches the bottle to find out what it contains, as he opens the bottle, finds a letter inside it. The letter is from future, complaining about the atmosphere changes that have taken place, due to our ignorance at the present stage.

I like the initial concept of

I like the initial concept of the video but felt the letter's "voice" and tone didn't capture the significance of maximizing resource energy. I wasn't bothered by the few profane words it said but did feel that those words didn't add anything to the overall appeal. You introduced a setup, addressed a problem, but didn't provide some sort of solution. Overall, it felt like something was missing...

This video does not really

This video does not really fit the competitions expectations. You just show us what everybody can do, but you didn't show us an example, you did not come up with a solution.

I understood the concept but

I understood the concept but I don't think it answered the question directly. It did not show in which ways we can maximise resource use efficiently. It more or less showed (mentioned in the letter) the environmental issues currently faced. I was not impressed by the language used in this video. It is meant to appeal to the larger community not just youths but by using such language makes the effort pathetic!!! A better approach could have been the same guy after reading the letter, making a difference by trying to clean up the very beach he was standing on..what ya think?
