A stop motion movie 'THE FISH' that calls on the impact of plastic pollution in the ocean on living beings

Marine pollution from plastic waste dumped by humans has become a major environmental problem, and is believed to be damaging to many animals.

Corona , a world-renowned beer brand, has announced that it will reduce its use of plastics in cooperation with the NPO group Parley for the Oceans , which prevents pollution of the ocean, in order to stop such plastic contamination of the ocean. We released the stop motion movie ' THE FISH ' depicting the effects of pollution on organisms on YouTube.

Plastic rubbish starts to move and starts to form something.

Plastic waste is a collection of various wastes such as straws, forks, combs and baluns.

Plastic pollution in the oceans harms over 800 species.

The adverse effects of plastic pollution are not only on marine life, but also on people who eat it.

The movie claims that it's important to separate trash as trash and not to pollute the environment.

Adam Pesapane, who is the master of stop motion animation and called ' PES ', created THE FISH depicting plastic marine pollution. Mr. Pesapane has published a making movie from the time of producing THE FISH.

I opened the studio door ...

Mr. Pesapane who produced THE FISH. He is a filmmaker, director, and animator.

Pesapane uses objects to create various stop motion animations.

Even in THE FISH, fish are made by combining plastic waste manually ...

I was taking pictures with an albatross model.

In the movie, albatross is about to eat the plastic fish it finds without a doubt. In the real world, fish bodies are filled with tiny plastic waste, and such fish are eaten by predators such as albatrosses in the same way as movies, and the adverse effects of plastic waste are spreading to multiple animals.

A movie in which fish made of plastic trash move is fantasy, but it helps to highlight and communicate real-world problems, said Pesapane.

The plastic trash fish killed the sea turtle in the movie, but the plastic trash fish is trying to kill the albatross without dying.

Since plastic waste is not broken down, animals are killed one after another.

A lot of frames are used for stop motion animation, but all the frames move the object little by little, take a picture one by one, and make it a movie by connecting them.

Mr. Pesapane said that through the movie, he can send messages to people around the world.
