Halfway through an emotionally charged 2020, I felt responsible to do more with my time. I decided to do what I could to prevent a second term for Donald Trump by making an independent video centralizing several overlooked points on why you should vote blue and vote Biden.
Nailing down the specifics proved to be the biggest challenge. Everyday of 2020 felt like a new headline. Predicting what would be most important in November for voters and writing a script was next to impossible.
Through collage and found imagery, I could maintain familiarity while adding my own wild animations and expressions. The madcap nature felt commensurate with the times.
Fun Fact: Initially, Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s "retirement on the beach" was the levity highlight of the video. However, a week into production, she sadly passed away. I quickly reworked the video to pay honor to her and still release on time.
