Conservation NW: The Wildlife Monitoring Project
Conservation NW is a non-profit organization that helps protect endangered species in Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho. One of the ongoing programs that CNW facilitates is the Wildlife Monitoring Project. The project calls on volunteers to maintain motion activated trail cameras in remote areas in order to capture imagery of endangered species. This imagery is shared with the federal government as evidence that policy changes surrounding conservation need to take place in that area. G.E. created several promotional videos for the Wildlife Monitoring project using two motion activated trail cameras, a drone, and a Canon R5. Footage was captured in the Woodland Park Zoo as well as the Gifford Pinchot and Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forests.
Kyndryl: The Heart of Progress
Kyndryl, the former IT infrastructure arm of IBM, aims to scale enterprise clients in the areas of cloud migration, data and AI, and cybersecurity. Despite having formed in 2021, the company is 90,000 employees strong, giving it the full power of a corporate data giant but with the edge and mentality of a startup. Partnered with other big tech entities like Microsoft, Kyndryl employees are often found promoting the company at booths stationed at large corporate events such as Microsoft Build or Microsoft Inspire. The booths often host a variety of interactive experiences for passerby's to engage with, including video content. Working as a design strategy consultant for Kyndryl, G.E. produced this sizzle to be used as corporate event video content to be played around North America. The editing and motion graphics design were done by me.
