The Lost World of Maui Nui is an animated exploration of the life of the islands that traces Maui's intricate history through its stages of transformation, erosion, and sea-level rise. This film is a mo’olelo pre-Ali’i. It integrates the Kumulipo, the Hawaiian mo’olelo of how the world formed, and celebrates the geological metamorphosis of these islands that laid the groundwork for the rich life and culture that continue to prosper.

Meaʻai shows the evolution of the diet of Native Hawaiians throughout time and draws connections between access to healthy food and the prosperity of the Hawaiian people.

In ancient Hawaiʻi, the people grew and harvested their own food. They would work very hard and resulted in lots of calories burned everyday. As more missionaries and immigrants came over to Hawaiʻi, creating the title of the Melting Pot due to the wide range of cultures all in one spot, also came the mixture of meal creations that were made. Many families never had enough money to support their families, and had to get foods that were easy to make, cheap, and had lots of shelf life resulting in canned, processed foods. 

Then life became faster paced with advancements in technology and everything became more efficient. The rise of processed fast foods became the ideal cheap meal that anyone could buy. This caused many health problems such as heart disease and diabetes as the leading cause of death for Hawaiians. Luckily many have made the change of incorporating local and organic produce and replacing it for the unhealthy foods. An example is ʻulu for potatoes and poi for rice. By incorporating culturally appropriate foods that our kupuna and our bodies used to eat and was used to eating, our health has improved slowly but surely we could go back to how our people used to be.

Feedback:

-strong research

-good symbolism

-going back to balanced diet

-imports

-gov. perspective, vs hwn perspective of balanced diet

-indigenous food pyramid

Possible improvement areas:

-Narration/sound effects

-Adjust thesis and prototype to research point (make it clear on what we are trying to convey)

The Human Effect shows the viewer the impact that humans have on ecosystems.The film traces the life cycle of a plastic water bottle in the ocean, highlighting it's effects on wildlife. The intent of the film is to raise awareness of the impact of pollution and communicate the potential of people to create a better situation down the line so ecosystems can thrive. It is our kuleana to care for the earth so it can continue to take care of us.

Slide 2: THESIS STATMENT

The landscape of Maui has changed tremendously since the onset of industrialization. Deforestation as the direct result of industrialized agriculture, cattle farming, and housing development is drastically changing the island’s fragile ecosystem; making it more susceptible to drought, more rapid soil erosion, and the decline of valuable species. Each scene addresses a different cause of deforestation with visualizations layered with symbolism: from scythes representing the violent sacrifices of poorly planned development to conveyor belts moving cattle representing the mechanization of meat farming. The film leaves audiences with a speculated future, a visualization of what will happen if we continue down this path. The final scene pays homage to our ancestors by incorporating an ʻōlelo noʻeau that embodies the message of the film.

The Last One is an animated film that explores the main causes of deforestation on the island of Maui. The goal of the film is to raise awareness of a topic that should be critically considered in further land-use planning .
