UN documentary short

The UN needed one filmmaker to document the work of four environmental projects around the globe and deliver one video that inspire people to take action. Each environmental project had won the the Champions of the Earth award, they were located in India, Lebanon, UK, and Peru. They had little time and budget, and could only shoot for 2-3 days in each place.

The Spark ✨

I had worked for the UN doing motion graphics in the past and had a relevant portfolio. They knew I could deliver in stretched deadlines and would go the extra mile to get things done. So I was selected. I packed my camera and gear and I flew solo around the world to interview the winners of the award and document their projects.

The Stats 💯

Timeline: One month Deliverables: • Short Compilation Video • B-Roll of all of the Champions • Portraits of all of the Champions and their work
