Adventure Safety Series
After UNM-Taos released Rio Grande Serenade in 2021, the Public Lands Interpretative Association contacted us to ask if we could produce an Adventure Safety Series for the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument. The idea was to introduce safety topics to international visitors who visit our monument annually.
A multi-year film project was born. Each semester, advanced students have had the opportunity to film on the river and participate in filming events around the entire monument. As the project came closer to completion, students were able to work on the post-production phase. We also introduced two animated characters, Joey and his dad, who show what not to do in the monument. These animated characters were created from scratch and 3D modeled in Blender by our faculty member, Lorenzo Lopez. We also had alumnus Hunter Tripp work on an animated map.
