"My idea is that this video would reach a large number of people and get them to care more, particularly younger people. When we see informational videos, a lot of people my age will tune out due to the constant barrage of advertisements aimed at us in daily life. I believe adding an emotional and artistic tone to an informational video will have more people interested in watching it."
