"Preparedness Now" short film (4:32)




"Preparedness Now" short film (4:32)


Up-and-coming film director, motion graphics designer and Art Center College of
Design alumnus, Theo Alexopoulos, takes you on a visceral journey through the USGS ShakeOut Earthquake Scenario. The film was created by the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project in cooperation with the Designmatters program at Art Center to depict the physical, social, and economic consequences of the most comprehensive earthquake scenario ever created. The film gives the viewers a sense of what will be happening and inspires them to prepare and mitigate for a faster
recovery. The premise underlying the film is that design is a powerful catalyst
that can bridge the divide between scientific understanding about damaging
quakes, and the ability of the public to feel empowered and to change their
behavior in terms of preparedness.

This is a film by a dear friend-Theo Alexopoulos. I thought it was done very well and the visual was very effective. Congratulations Theo!
