I captured the empathy and resources of St Benedict’s Monastery. Working closely with the sisters and staff a new website was developed and built, e-commerce introduced to sell workshops and retreats and videos were produced. Prior to completion of the project there was extensive staff training and creation of a large library of custom tutorial videos.

The website has now been retired by the monastery

I covered the journey of Logan McMenamie as he walked the length of Vancouver Island in search of reconciliation with First Nations.

The challenge was to work within a tight budget yet produce real-time material to keep the news cycle going while gathering content for a final video.

Solutions:

• shooting at key points along the way
• source third party material, negotiate usage rights
• rush field edits to sustain momentum (six videos)
• develop motion graphics
• produce print and visual social media inventory
• create final documentary

The Salvation Army is taking steps to build new relationships with Canada’s first people. One of those initiatives is a powwow. This is a traditional gathering in some parts of the country where dancing and feasting help forge new understanding. They wanted photographs and videos of the second annual powwow, being hosted at a camp in Alberta.

I was hired to shoot and edit two field videos (news packs) during the event for distribution on the Army’s large national social media networks. And after the event an overview video was edited for internal and external distribution.
