    paper Horlics Chocoland

    https://www.twine.net/signin

    Take a trip and see how children would design their own Chocoland based on Horlicks new Chocoland Hot Chocolate.

    This is one of three social videos produced for Horlicks featuring their new Chocoland Hot Chocolate. Filmed by Tangerine, where I assisted the senior team on the main edits and animations, following I then created the several short form cutdowns.

    paper Specsavers Best Worst Team Season 2 and 3

    What happens when you take the UK’s worst football teams, and give them the tools of professional football coaches and athletes to help them improve? Well that is what Specsavers does with their Best Worst Team series, which I had the pleasure of being an assistant editor on for the long form episodes and main editor on the social cut downs for seasons 2 and 3.

    paper Bodyform Vaginas Uncensored

    https://www.josephowensart.com/work/bodyform

    This campaign was massive, spanning multiple teams and outputs. Working closely with the senior team on initial idents and creating social posts, not only did I learn a lot about Bodyform but more importantly how to create an impact.

    The goal for ‘Vaginas Uncensored’ was to bring light to the words relating to female sexual health that would get account shadow banned online. And the results speak for themselves with this launch video.
