we will journey from
Central Africa

all the way to the
tip of Norway.

We will create a
massive herd migration,
3
6280
2400
00:08
of puppet animals,
4
8680
1511
00:10
hundreds, perhaps
thousands of them,
5
10520
2320
00:12
fleeing climate disaster.

Although The Herds
need to be powerful
7
14880
1920
00:16
and devastating,
8
16800
1000
00:17
they also need to be beautiful.

They will create dozens of
species out of recyclable,
10
19680
2880
00:22
reusable and
11
22560
1040
00:23
easily sourced materials.

00:26
our puppeteers are some of
the best in the world.

The Herds will happen in
15

1160
00:29
our immediate surroundings,
16
29800
1400
00:31
in our familiar.

This is important.

00:33
It needs to happen to us,
19
33400
1160
00:34
not to someone else,
20
34560
1120
00:35
somewhere far away.
21
35680
1440
00:37
It needs to happen
where we feel safe
22
37120
2120
00:39
so we understand that
we are not safe.

A story of the wildness of
nature overwhelming civilization,
24

but also the story of
