If you had a magic levitation device, what would you use it for? In this bespoke project with Sussex University we brought together artists and engineers working on an ultrasonic levitating device.
Read MoreCarbon Saving in NHS Clinical Waste
NurSus need an educational resource for current and future healthcare professionals that communicates the carbon emissions and reductions that could be achieved in the NHS.
Read MoreCarbon in peatland
Dartmoor is a wild peatland landscape in Devon, England, know for its wild horses and sheep that wander freely. This animated slideshow illustrates the amount of carbon that is ‘sequestered’ by the peat and shows the importance of these landscapes as natural carbon stores.
Read MoreVisualising Plastic in the Mediterranean
Our client wanted to show the scale of the problem of ocean plastic to an audience at the Cannes Lions Festival. So we made a film to show the rate of plastic waste in the Mediterranean Sea every second, and every day. And we liked the idea of filling the bay of Cannes with toy ducks!

West Sussex County Council wanted to draw attention to the recycling that residents don't do, but could. We created an animation for a public engagement campaign using social media, and a range of still and print materials for bill-boards and local news advertising.
Read MoreBio-Buildings are carbon 'banks'
Building with bio materials like straw and wood locks up carbon. Seeing the ‘carbon-capture’ potential of these sorts of buildings could help architects, insurers and contractors consider the full potential of working with these natural materials.
Carbon sequestration in the Severn Estuary
We think of estuaries primarily in terms of nature and wildlife. But estuaries also provide important ecosystem services, for instance the saltmarsh sequesters and stores carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Communicating this to the public is a challenge, but we wanted to have a go…
Read MoreSimple images to bring data alive
Often a simple image set can get across a positive message better than any amount of words, helping people really see success, aspiration and change. This is particularly true in the case of stories of carbon reduction and carbon targets.
Read MoreExploring Ireland’s energy future
Ireland has agreed to cut carbon emissions by at least 80% by 2050, compared to 1990 levels. We provided the visual interface for a web-tool that allows anyone to access and explore different future electricity and energy supply and demand options for the country.
Read MoreUniversity campus emissions brought to life
How do you raise help students and staff better understand the carbon emissions associated with all the different buildings at their university? This prototype carbon and energy visualiser shows the real-time, monthly and annual carbon emissions associated with every building on the different campuses of the University of the West of England (UWE).
Read MoreInvisible payments made real
An unusual request from a successful USA start-up - could we find a simple way to show investors the exponential growth of their mobile phone money transactions in Mexico? Using dates and geo-location data for all transactions we created this simple short video.

Real World Visuals has created two films that show the actual volumes of litter, recycling and recycling opportunities. The goal of the project is to elicit a measurable increase in waste minimisation and recycling and provide direct cost benefits to the council.
Read MoreThe value of tap water
How can we make an abstract idea like 'the value of water' real? Research shows that tap water in the South West of England is typically 600 times cheaper than bottled water bought from a shop. This simple video was designed to get this message across to consumers.
