Editor & Animation

In 2018, I worked with Hand Crank Films and United Way on two pieces for Whatcom County: a testimonial featuring Sheena Oldham, and a broader brandscape video about the organization's work in the community.
My role covered edit and animation across both. The testimonial needed to stay personal and give Sheena's story room to land. The brandscape had a different job. It needed to pull back and show the larger mission without losing the human side of it.
I handled post-production across both pieces, shaping the pacing, structure, and motion so they could work together while doing different things. One was about a single voice. The other was about the wider picture.

• Edited and animated both the testimonial piece and the brandscape video.
• Built the testimonial around Sheena Oldham's story so the emotional core stayed intact.
• Used the brandscape piece to frame United Way's broader mission in Whatcom County without flattening it into a list of programs.
