Hornet's Archer Beck Directs Live Earth Short FilmHornet directors Archer$Beck recently completed a surreal short film to promote Al Gore's Live Earth concert series.
Using their trademark rotoscope technique, the team created a dreamlike world to illustrate the perils of global warming.
Live Earth, a 24-hour, 7-continent series, brought together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis.
The film by Archer$Beck aired on July 7, 2007, the same day as the festival.
Texas natives Jason Archer and Paul Beck were given total creative control over the project, developing the script and characters from scratch.
A boy falls asleep in his bed and proceeds to dream about a character: Earth - it has the body of a man and the planet Earth as its head.
Dream turns to nightmare as the Earth character takes a beating from various environmental threats: His head catches on fire; a car's exhaust sends him into a coughing fit; he gets attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes and a flood sends him climbing up a tree.
