'Coalition of the Willing' is a collaborative animated film and web-based event about an online war against global warming in a 'post Copenhagen' world.
‘Coalition of the Willing’ has been Directed and produced by Knife Party, written by Tim Rayner and crafted by a network of 24 artists from around the world using varied and eclectic film making techniques. Collaborators include some of the world’s top moving image talent, such as Decoy, World Leaders and Parasol Island.
The film offers a response to the major problem of our time: how to galvanize and enlist the global publics in the fight against global warming. This optimistic and principled film explores how we could use new Internet technologies to leverage the powers of activists, experts, and ordinary citizens in collaborative ventures to combat climate change. Through analyses of swarm activity and social revolution, 'Coalition of the Willing' makes a compelling case for the new online activism and explains how to hand the fight against global warming to the people.

Bringing this to our readers at the189.com thank you, the world needs minds like these involved in this project. not only was the animation stunning throughout it really meant something and provides an avenue to make people sit and listen to how they along with others can make the change that is needed in our societies. the world in inhabited by the masses so it is our responsibility along with those in power of the corporations and the governments, although like is said here they have vested interests. So inspiring. So worthwhile the hard work. Thankyou all involved, regards - Daniel.

Thanks Daniel, the189.com looks like a fascinating site and thanks for offering to spread the message there. As regards your comment, we feel that a system, like the one we propose is a very simple ask indeed. In fact, there are such destinations already, but perhaps nothing high profile enough and multi-facetted enough to do the job.
http://the189.com/design/art/coalition-of-the-willing-animation/ heres the link. All the best, I hope as many people see this as possible.
Congrats to the team! It's a beautiful collaboration for this universal message! Thanks for the planet

Brilliant. Every second of it.

great stuff, I found out about this as a post on facebook and I'm gonna be sharing it on there too.
What an insane collaboration. Amazing.
Just no words for how brilliant this is! So many styles in just one film and it all works out! Concept follows idea, so great! I'm thrilled!!!
Brilliant added to vimeo.com/channels/worldhd :)
Thanks for the post. Brilliant indeed! Well animated and narrated. What a collaboration. The visuals come close to the way I imagine my own thoughts.
Never has there been a more beautiful rendering of a completely incoherent and discredited worldview. Wonderful design and animation, I just had to turn the audio off.
do you guys know of any catalyst system that currently exists? Please let me know.
Hey Mark. Check out Amazee - it's Amazee-ing! http://www.amazee.com/
I want to create those website :D
I'm going to share this on my site. It makes me excited about the open-sourced collaborative world we've created.
I think its a little ironic that the organizations webpage has a tab dedicated to getting "the iPhone app" only because the iPhone is probably the best example of the consumerist society in which we live.
yeah!!! i am waiting for long time ~~ well done~
Inspirational. Great creatively. Great idea on problem solving in the modern age. Not sure I believe in Global warming though. Kind of like religion.. no proof, different scientists/theorists and benefiting sides. I'm in love with the video though
Great! Great ! Great! Uhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :) Keep up good work dudes!
That's my boy!
