Mission: Planet Possible Video Series Production

Community of Guardians is embarking on an exciting initiative to create a video series titled "Mission: Planet Possible." The aim is to spotlight scientists and sustainability changemakers who are making significant contributions to environmental conservation and sustainable practices. The project involves producing a 5-episode series where Sheridan students will conduct interviews with these experts. The goal is to develop engaging and action-oriented content that will inspire the public to engage more deeply with sustainability issues. This project provides an opportunity for students to apply their classroom knowledge in media production, communication, and environmental studies to real-world scenarios. Students will work collaboratively with our project team to follow our existing episode template, using the pilot episode as a guide. Each episode will amplify science in plain language, include a call to action, and aim to rebuild public trust in science by making it accessible, inspiring, and solutions-focused. This project will involve several stages, including: Collaborating with our creative lead to adapt the Mission: Planet Possible branding and theme for a full 5-episode arc. Planning interviews with 5 scientists (selected with our team) who are working on issues aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Researching each scientist’s work and co-creating storyboards and scripts for their interviews. Recording, editing, and producing each video episode with strong storytelling and visual appeal. Designing a video intro/outro, and potentially creating episode-specific graphics or animations. Ensuring the videos include clear and engaging calls to action for viewers to get involved. The series will serve as a platform to amplify the voices of those driving positive change and encourage viewers to take actionable steps towards sustainability.
