In collaboration with the design team at Indigenous Services Canada, I created a series of informational video destined for social media. During these uncertain times, it is important to provide indigenous communities with factual information on the evolving COVID-19 situation. These dynamic videos were created through 2D animation and motion design.
This video is a school project conceptualized and animated for my media class in the Bachelor of Art and Communication program at Royal Roads University. To create this video, I used 3D renders, animated stock footage, and tailored sound design. All the elements come together to create a short but thought-provoking video with a call to action.
Working from a script, I conceptualized the colour scheme, icons, and animations. By manually recreating the government of Canada website in the video, applicants can see what the application process resembles. This video is used at job fairs as a recruitment tool and posted on the government of Canada website to help guide applicants through the process.
I had the pleasure of working with Andy Brown, a renown chalk artist in Ottawa. He has been working with the medium for over 30 years and has built an expansive range of clients in the city. His career started in the Royal Oak on Bank st. when he assisted a waitress with a chalk board. "They asked me if I could come in and do more on a regular basis, that's how I started and it grew from there," said Andy Brown.
After conducting interviews with lead scientists and capturing b-roll of the Supercritical CO2 Laboratory at Loyalist College. I produced and edited a video for a science competition hosted by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). The contest aims to showcase research being funded at schools around the country to help people discover and understand science in a one-minute video.
The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society hired me to produce and edit video for them during the summer of 2016. Compiling stock footage, recorded footage from CPAWS events and interviews I conducted. I edited a video outlining their mission statement to help people understand what CPAWS does and strives to achieve.
Fry Bread Friday is a series where I played many roles while in the employ of the Government of Canada. These videos are meant to connect people through food, specifically bannock. They showcase the immense diversity within Indigenous culture. For this project I assisted on location with equipment set up, talent management, and filming. I managed all aspects of post-production on the four-video series. I focused on integrating natural sounds from the footage to create texture throughout the videos. Giving the viewer unique angles and diverse views was a great way to push creativity.
