Like a regular shortform documentary, but used for advertising purposes.
I genuinely adore working on these.
Solidworks, the client, wanted a series of videos where we tell the stories of their clients.
This one features a group of MIT graduates who used the software to design a new type of wheelchair. It uses leverage for easy navigation on different sorts of terrain, and is largely made with bicycle parts, which makes repairing it especially easy in most places in the world.
Similar to the SolidWorks series, this Reebok video showcases a running camp called Zap Endurance in North Carolina. Their athletes train up for a five-mile race up Bear Mountain.
I probably cut a dozen or so of these branded docs for SolidWorks.
This one is set apart because when we sent a rough cut to SolidWorks for client feedback, they had NO NOTES. Story was great, b-roll was great, music was great, all branding was in the right place. It felt like a real feather in my cap!
The first of the SolidWorks series I edited. This details a company's work using the software to create prosthetic limbs.
Okay, last of the SolidWorks series! This is about a civilian company that makes small rockets for research purposes.
A company called The Loyal Subjects designs high-quality figurines, but mostly they discuss their pure nostalgia for Transformers and GI Joe.
