• Story and script: Helped build the narrative in pre-production so the piece had a clear structure before the 3D work started.
• Production coordination: Worked with the team to adjust the process around pandemic limitations and a more CG-heavy pipeline.
• Editing direction: Guided how the 3D elements were integrated in post and partnered with Media Monks on the final delivery.

This Microsoft Lists piece came together in 2020, when pandemic production limits were changing how launch videos got made. Instead of relying on a more traditional production approach, the team leaned heavily into 3D, which changed the planning, the workflow, and the way the story had to be built.

I was involved across the project, from early story and script work through post. That meant helping shape the narrative up front, working with the team as the process adapted, and giving editing direction as the 3D elements came together. Media Monks was a key partner on the finish. The result was a polished video that still made the product feel clear and approachable, even within the constraints we were working through.
