FILM and ANIMATION PROJECTS

Here are some of the videos I have worked on:

•  I was a volunteer for Rogers Communication when I led the creative direction of the Change Starts Here video for United Way Perth-Huron. The filming was done by Chris Nyland, when he was a film student. Katia Maxwell of Rogers Communications trained me on the editing of the film.

• With United Way, I was able to produce and edit many small videos  including: greetings and messages from politicians, messaging from a variety of agencies, and the Avon Cooperative Nursery School's Change Starts Here video.

• Following these I filmed and pieced together the Perth County landscapes and streetscapes video. 

• I worked with Aimee (a grade 5 student) to film and edit the We Can Make A Difference Video she wrote. Aimee wanted to raise awareness of Stratford House of Blessing's Off to School Smiling Program. 

• The Empty Bowls Stone Soup Pre-Show includes two main features. 

  • The first is an animated and modernized retelling of the story Stone Soup.  I wrote the story and worked with an artistic consultant, Varrick Grimes, for editing and scripting.  I coached an Illustration student, Julia Paglia and she created the illustrations and storyboarding.  Josiah Stanley, a Computer Science student animated it.  Voices were a mixture of Stratford House of Blessing volunteers and professional voice actors, see the credits for all of their names.  The voices were recorded and edited at Balinran Entertainment.

  • The second Stone Soup  feature within this video starts at the 11:55 mark , is a Chef Feature to showcase our Empty Bowls' Chefs who are usually participating at our live event. I worked with Videographer, and recent graduate Luke Dickey and Natalie Moore of Moore Creative Consulting to create this collaborative piece.  

• Our Empty Bowls Feature Event was filmed as a 'simu-live' production. I was the director, and Luke Dickey filmed and worked on post-production.  Overall, the virtual event was a great success!​
