Many people don’t realise that the data they store online (photos, videos, documents) takes up physical space in massive data centers around the world. These centers require enormous amounts of energy, contributing to a significant carbon footprint. "Selfies Have Consequences" was created to spread awareness of this often-overlooked issue, by making it engaging and accessible to a younger audience.

Through storytelling and animation, we explored the rapid growth of data storage, the increasing demand for server space, and the environmental consequences of maintaining these digital archives. The animation follows Kayla, an 18-year-old who, like many teens and young adults, relies on cloud storage daily without considering its real-world impact. The goal is to encourage viewers to be more mindful of their data usage.
