To show UX work in a more polished presentation style I put this together. It was a good to combine tools I was less familiar with:
Cinema 4d, Figma and Principle.

The final drawings were done on a chalkboard and shot in-camera frame by frame. It took a team of 3 a day on set to draw everything. The planning, boarding, animation and approvals took a few weeks prior to the shoot. The directors played a kids movie on a laptop, filming kids reactions to cut together for the final edit.
The other thing I remember about this shoot was that when I was en route home from a production meeting I lost a brown cashmere sweater my grandmother had given me. On the plus side, we had pizza liberetto catering which included delicious tiramisu served in a mason jar. I went to this school for kindergarten 20 years earlier but didn’t remember until later.

Planned and shot in-camera in one day with David Stewart. It was an experiment which ended up being used in a documentary film about Dr. Viv Grigg. (The man speaking in the voice-over.) He has lived in slums for 40 years working among the urban poor. https://urbanleaders.org/
