Our Oceans Conference - Palau

I was hired to capture documentary-style b-roll and interviews during the Our Oceans Conference in Palau, highlighting environmental discussions, global delegates, and the surrounding natural landscape.

The goal was to create a versatile visual archive of the conference that could support post-event storytelling, press, and future communications while authentically documenting the scale and impact of the event.

I was brought on as part of a small, flown-in production crew from Guam, working on location throughout the conference to document both formal programming and candid moments between global delegates.

The approach prioritized observational, documentary-style coverage, allowing the event to be represented naturally rather than staged or overly produced.

Cinematic b-roll capturing Palau's natural environment alongside conference activity, reinforcing the connection between place and purpose.

On-site interviews with international delegates and participants, recorded in documentary style to preserve authenticity and clarity.

Unscripted moments and observational footage documenting interactions, discussions, and the scale of the event.

- Captured documentary-style b-roll across multiple locations during the conference

- Worked as part of a small, mobile production crew, adapting quickly to schedules and environments

- Maintained visual consistency while capturing both environmental context and human stories

This project highlights my experience working on location with small crews to document large-scale international events, balancing environmental context, human stories, and real-time production demands through a documentary lens.
