Videos & Copywriting
Innovation Exchange (“IX”) summary video | MindFuel’s IX event brought together individuals from government, education, industry, startup and non-profit, as well as youth, to discuss the intersection of STEM, education and creativity. A graphic recording of the day’s events was drawn in real-time and filmed to create a stop-motion animation. My role was to take 33 minutes of video, arrange and edit it down to four minutes maximum, and write the script for the voiceover.
Instagram videos to promote my book, Beasts With a Backstory | In 2023, I self-published a book with my drawings of animals, each of whom have a short blurb with a few funny facts about them.
