    uniE608 Harold Hunter Foundation PSA
    As the creative lead and director for a nonprofit fundraising video, I managed every aspect of the project to ensure its success. I developed the concept, scripted the narrative, and designed the visual style of the video. Utilizing Adobe After Effects and innovative techniques like tactile animation, precise framing, and a continuous pan, I created an engaging visual experience. I also recorded and performed the voiceover, selected music, and edited the video to bring the vision to life. Collaborating closely with the foundation, I ensured the final product met their goals and effectively conveyed their mission. The video launched a successful donation round, expanded the foundation’s reach, and raised awareness of their key programs. animator explainervideo
