A Docu-promo (shot in HD originally, but waaay down-converted here, sorry). An organization in Northern California needed a video that would help raise awareness of what they do, inspire people with money and/or time to donate either, and feel “flashy but not cold and detached.” I tried to edit that warmth into this by using real film-grain overlays on the B-roll stuff, and by choosing to edit with a lot of candid footage, in between interview takes and such. What that gave me were lot’s of great cuts where the orphans and their “volunteer advocates” are interacting very naturally. “Advocates for Children” was very satisfied with this piece and overjoyed with what I was able to do with the material.
