Love is in the Air: Home Edition

Video production for the stay-at-home version of a nonprofit’s annual gala

Background

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, Bridges: Domestic and Sexual Violence Support Services switched from their annual in-person gala to a virtual program. The goal was to share an update on the changes the agency had made to continue to deliver life-saving services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in their community. Attendees were sent a gala-in-a-box which contained a USB stick with an upbeat playlist, chocolates, and a recipe for the event’s signature cocktail (a cosmopolitan). The program aired on YouTube Live on January 30, 2021, the night the in-person event was originally scheduled. It raised over $60,000.

My role

I filmed most of the video for this program (except the dance sequence), drafted the host’s script, created graphics, edited the final video using Final Cut Pro X, and selected the music.
