Patient & Staff Profiles
I love bringing out the best in my subjects. I want them to grin, laugh, and forget there's a camera around. Most of all, I urge them to be their authentic self and speak as candidly as possible. My favorite pieces have no voiceover and let the subjects tell their own story.
In this selection, I was hands-on in the entire production pipeline, including...
• selecting and researching the stories
• earning trust of subjects and stakeholders
• scheduling video shoots
• conducting interviews
• writing scripts
• collaborating with videographers and editors
• reviewing versions and instructing edits
• delivering final versions
