Bringing environmental education to life through character-driven storytelling and vibrant video production for McAdams’ REACH Series.

Bringing Education to Life Through Environmental Video Production

Environmental video production brings important messages to life—and McAdams’ REACH Series proves just how engaging those messages can be. This six-part public service campaign uses live-action storytelling, custom animations, and character-driven content to encourage better environmental practices in local communities.

Meet Snapi: The Star of the Series

At the center of the series is Snapi—a bright, AI-powered character who helps people protect both their pipes and the planet. She makes a flying entrance, speaks with a witty voice, and brings a splash of color and personality. With her help, each video becomes more than a lesson. It becomes a story worth watching.

Cinematic Storytelling with Real Impact

Each REACH Series video blends cinematic production and CG animation to leave a lasting impression. Our team handled every step of the process, including:

  • Creative Direction & Storyboarding
    We defined the tone and visual approach for each episode.
  • Talent Casting
    We selected warm, relatable actors to represent community voices.
  • Live-Action Filming
    We shot on location using dynamic lighting, color grading, and clean sound.
  • CG Integration
    Snapi came to life through motion graphics and visual effects.
  • Branded Delivery
    Each video includes client logos and messaging, ready to share.

Whether we were illustrating the dangers of flushing wipes or pouring grease down the drain, we used movement, color, and sound design to make the message both fun and informative.

Created for Communities, Built to Last

McAdams developed the REACH Series as a cost-effective way for cities to deliver high-quality environmental education. These turnkey videos can be licensed, branded, and used forever.

Cities like Greensboro and Wilson are already seeing results. They’re sharing the videos across digital platforms, reducing sewer overflows, and engaging residents with creative content.

The REACH Series Is Just Getting Started

More videos are on the way, with partner feedback shaping future topics. We’re excited to keep this initiative growing—and to bring more unforgettable stories to life.
