Orange County Sanitation District treats 185 million gallons of wastewater every day. That’s a lot of poop. They needed a tour video that walks viewers through the treatment process and shows how OCSD recycles a lot of the byproducts. It’s a complicated journey that involves serious equipment, pipes, giant basins, and tons of gross stuff. But somebody’s got to do it.
While the treatment process is very scientific, we wanted to give the tour a fun feel. We created two characters to act as guides through the plant. Together they provide humorous commentary as they explain the inner workings that turn wastewater into fresh water, gas, and biosolids. We supplemented the live action footage with custom graphics to further illustrate the process.
