Editing with CNN Create team again which is always fun.
This time a film to encapsulate a large event hosted by the Saudi Health Ministry celebrating the graduation of a new cohort of medical professionals.
Wish my graduation had been on a similar scale and as ambitious.
TVC for Equatorial Guinea
Straight up editing and sound mix job this time so back to familiar territory…
Working with CNN Create I joined the team to work on one of two TVCs for the Equatorial Guinean government. The film I worked on showcased the new capital city they are building in the centre of the country to enhance their position at the centre of the Pan African economic movement.
Cuidad de la Paz is a signicant development and speaks volumes about the momentum and belief in Africa and how the continent can steer its own economic destiny.
AstraZeneca Datroway
Working with the team at Inizio I edited and created motion graphics for a 90 second opener screened at the AstraZeneca Datroway conference.
Conference openers have become a regular gig that allow me to deep-dive into motion graphics and that exciting blend of live action and design.
Brink Innovation and medical oxygen
Working with the in house team at Brink Innovation and Picnic films I worked on a series of animations that brought to life some of the complex elements that underpin the O2 as-a-service iniative that Brink have implemented across Africa, Central and Eastern Asia.
This was an important project to work on as funding for this life saving innovation - bring medical grade oxygen to clinics and hospitals in some of the world’s poorest communities- was in doubt. We later heard that the project was to receive continued funding to support the project into the future
Motion Graphics projects in '24
There’s been a lot of motion graphics work with various pharmaceutical brands lately. Work for AstraZeneca has predominated, but also worked with GsK, Sanofi, Roche and Viiv.
The work has been varied, ranging from headline films shown at large brand events through to info dense case study films.
The challenges vary….sometimes its straight up story telling, other times it's about finding a design solution for a communications conundrum…all of it has been fun and really forced me to deep dive into After Effects.
Educating the next generation...
The Bight Foundation and Benbow Arts Space called on me to collaborate with a team delivering a week long filmmaking course for 11-18 year olds, allowing them to make a film in a week….and what a great week….I was tasked with teaching the cinematography module and putting together a crew who could film the script.
Working with young people is always rewarding, but this group was particularly enthusiastic. Wishing them well if they take up a career in film and media.
