Well this is a flash mob of a different color.
"Viral flash mob micro trash film project"
This is how it started.I wrote the following note to family and friends on facebook;
Hi All
I am working on a documentary about micro trash.
I started by filming road side trash.First i started by shooting a "before clean up"
shot of high density road side trash and then an "after clean" shot.
Next
My next filming will be of a road side pull out with a high density of micro trash.
I will do a before clean up shot(ideally to frame the shot well i will be looking for a crescent shaped pull out.).
Next i will do a half clean up shot to give some contrast of before and after.
The last shot will be a shot with the cleanup complete.
Other planed shots
#2 shoot
Dig down one foot and examine micro trash penetration(along the road/on the beach/in a field)
as it breaks down in to the sand or soil.
#3 shoot
Taking the trash home i will lay out and sort the trash on a tarp,
a trash inventory of sorts.
Weigh of trash collected?
#4 Editing and narrating.
Micro trash is a symptom of a larger social problem.
what is it?
Between now and then
I invite you to film one or more of the same shots and share them on facebook.
THIS IS WHERE THE "VIRAL FLASH MOB MICRO TRASH FILM PROJECT" STARTS.
My intent is to raise awareness about micro trash,
whether it be on the side of the road,on ocean beaches or along rivers.
I am not judging, more than anything,
i am trying to understand the social disease that got the trash there in the first place.
Raising awareness about micro trash i believe will reduce its spread.
How you can help raise awareness;
--Share this with friends, lets get viral.( the things you share with people are a reflection of your character,
the more noble the content you share, the more you bring a environment of nobility in to being.)
--Make a comment or start a conversation.(thoughtful words have a massive positive social ripple effect.)
--chose one of the shots above, film it and share it hear.

I use a graber, a pair of gloves and a plastic grocery bag (great use).
It would probably be a good idea to wear a safety vest. - 4 months ago

what an interesting idea. i could just shoot the trash around my neighborhood. how will we ever clean up anything on this planet when people are simply tossing whatever whereever they please. i met a man years ago who decided to pick up cig butts and make art out of them to show the amount of pollution the butts cause it was his way of bringing attention to an issue not being talked about or seen. thanks
