"Forward" advocates using solar power to reverse the environmental damage caused from dirty coal-fired power plants. To make its point, the ad employs imagery of smoke blowing backward into the stacks. Lyon, passionate advocate for the environment, donated his services to film the California Center for Sustainable Energy script by Matt Fitzsimons, Creative Director at Lyon & Associates Creative Services. Like the director, Fitsimons and the team at Lyon & Associates Creative Services worked pro bono on the project, along with Director of Photography Tom Seawell. "Living in California, we tend to forget about the consequences of our lifestyle," says Lyon. "It was quite a sobering experience to visit the power plants where a lot of our power is generated. They would not be allowed in our clean air-conscious state, so, instead, people in rural areas of Arizona and New Mexico are breathing the heavy metals that pour out of those stacks. As a commercial director, it's great to have a chance to create something of value to the world."
