About

Presenting a 3-minute animation video that seeks to uncover a hidden credit source called the Export Credit Agency (ECA). A tool used by corrupt government officials to support the use of fossil fuels using public funds. Join the motion to unite against hypocrisy by enforcing an oil and gas export finance prohibition.

Two vivid red petrol pumps stand centre frame surrounded by a collage of news article screenshots, banknotes spilling from above, and an End Fossil Fuels protest sign, all rendered in sepia and red tones. The layered image maps the media, money, and activism swirling around public fossil fuel financing.

A dark hand in a white sleeve reaches across a diagonal table toward a distant glass door marked ECA, set against a warm coral circle and concentric rings on a dark background. The perspective creates a sense of both purpose and distance, an outstretched reach toward an institution.

A hand grips a large megaphone against a blue background covered with a grid of golden-toned doors, as the demand No Fossil Fuel repeats in escalating paper-strip typography pouring from the horn. The image builds volume and repetition into a visual chant.

A blue-tinted crowd of protesters seen from behind holds two identical blue placards aloft above a yellow circle, on a torn-paper framed composition against a sage green background. The mirrored signs and crowd solidarity make the demand feel collective and unstoppable.

A grey-toned man in a shirt and tie holds a megaphone with a wide grin, while a cascade of ransom-note style blah typography erupts from the horn across a yellow background. The image skewers empty political rhetoric with wry, graphic wit.

Four halftone-processed hands reach in from different directions to touch and cradle a vivid photorealistic globe against a bold yellow background. The image is both collaborative and contested, many hands on the same world, with different intentions.

Two suited arms clasp in a firm handshake at the centre of a vivid yellow frame, while above them banknotes scatter, smoke billows from an industrial chimney, and a hand holds a crumpled stop sign. The image compresses complicity and consequence into a single frame.

A lush green vineyard landscape stretches across rolling hills, overlaid with wind turbines and a solar panel rising from the terrain, while dollar bills drift down from a vivid yellow sky above. The collage frames renewable energy investment as something that grows naturally from the land itself.
