Other projects

Personal video work

Through the years I have animated and edited videos for personal projects and as a volunteer for various other climate and political projects. below are a few of my favorites

Buildzilla

After passing the Build Public Renewables Act in 2023, the Public Power NY coalition had a new mission - to hold Gov. Hochul and the NY Power Authority leaders accountable in following the law and building the infrastructure. In our attempts to make "implementation" appealing, I designed a short comic that colorfully tells the story of the campaign with a kaiju twist.

Smash The Stacks microsite

For the 2024 campaign to close down polluting peaker plants, I created a microsite making the case for closing them down, with an embedded ActionNetwork form for the viewer to quickly email the governor and sign up for events. It never got used but it came out so good I had to share it somewhere.

Energetic Board game

I occasionally work on expanding climate education and energy literacy through Energetic, a board game by City Atlas that focuses on the clean energy transition in NYC. In these workshops, I teach students how to play the game, as well as teachers on how to implement the game into their curriculi.

About

Hi! I'm Lalo Remes, an animator/video producer and climate educator🧖🏻I specialize in animating and editing complex topics into well paced and visually clear content. I have a decade of experience with After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as some Blender under my belt.Through my journey as a climate solutions enthusiast, I've had the opportunity to edit and animate for a variety of clients, from complex financial instruments for Climate Policy Initiative, to thermal energy networks and decarbonization frameworks for Building Energy Exchange.I often work in collaboration with video production studio Room 3 NYC.

As the climate crisis worsens and governments drag their feet on the fundamental fixes needed in policy and culture, climate education stands out as an opportunity to sow the seeds of change, and I'm committed to engaging as many people as possible in this.
