Animation Projects

Taking a Healthy Ride on the Green Side and Clean Energy Careers are new animations, produced in partnership with two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Lalo Alcaraz and his team at Pocho Villa Productions. These 90-second shorts (together with 30-second PSA versions) focus on green mobility options and benefits, and career paths in the clean energy field. The animations feature the voices of El Monte Union students and administrators who engaged in a focus group with Alcaraz at the project’s outset.

Learn more about these two PSA animations from Lalo Alcaraz.
