Child Safe guarding SCI
Child Safe Guarding film for Save the Children in Laos
The film was made in close cooperation with the children of the Luang Prabang library and their care givers. You will see below a compilation of stills that were taken from the film to show you part of the method we used. This included IPad transitions, whiteboard animatons, set up scenarios and digital studio backgrounds for the two main presenters. Overall we had a lot of fun making this film and the kids loved being part of the process.

Mentoring in the Heart of the Hospital
A film I made as part of a larger series for Save the Children working in Northern Laos.
Mentoring is a reciprocal and collaborative at-will relationship that most often occurs between a senior and junior employee for the purpose of the mentee’s growth, learning, and career development. Often the mentor and mentee are internal to an organization, and there is an emphasis on organizational goals, culture, career goals, advice on professional development, and work-life balance. Effective mentors often act as role models and sounding boards for their mentee and provide guidance to help them reach their goals.
Mentoring can be formal or informal. In an informal environment, mentees set goals, but they are usually not measurable and the relationships are unstructured. For a formal mentoring relationship, there are actionable and measurable goals defined and set with determined requirements.

COCA COLA
A campaign I did in conjunction with Saatchi & Saatchi in Ho Chi Minh City. The campaign was well received, and the client was proud of the success it brought. The approach for us was to make the visuals look like they were part of everyday life, documentary style but well executed.
