Dimension: 1920x1080p
Description: This is a carton promotional video for COWA (Community Of Women's Alliance), a charity dedicated to supporting women through counseling. Through my involvement in this project, I became acutely aware of the pervasive injustices that women face. This vicious cycle of inequality is perpetuated in issues such as the workplace, domestic violence, and social stigma. Through my work, I intend to shed light on persistent gender disparities and, more importantly, to inspire and empower women to overcome these challenges. I believe that my creative endeavors can help women make strides toward a more equitable and inclusive society by fostering their self-confidence and resilience.

Background Story:
In 2050, the Earth was suddenly hit by a large asteroid. Since the atmosphere is like a protective film around the earth, which can keep the ground temperature warm and stable. Because of the strong impact, part of the atmosphere is destroyed, the atmosphere becomes thinner, so the surface heat is easily spread, which leads to a drop in the temperature of the earth and increases the temperature difference between day and night. At the same time, the impact of the asteroid caused the Earth to suddenly deviate from its original orbit and move a little further away from the sun. The temperature drops sharply and there is white snow everywhere. The earth is in crisis and the ice age is back. At this time, people not only need very warm clothes when they are outside, but they also need to protect their faces and the respiratory tract. Because breathing very cold outdoor air for a long time can cause serious breathing damage, outdoor snow can also be harmful to your eyes. In a world of snow and ice, people must wear goggles to protect their eyes from the glare of the snow.
