World Relief is a multinational relief and development organization. They recently completed a rebranding with the excellent Brand Navigation, and we were hired to create this video as an introduction to the new brand.

It was a great opportunity to get into a studio environment, and create a commercial, branding heavy piece. This was also the first video we filmed with our Canon 1D Mk IV. What a great piece of equipment. We also used our Zeiss prime lenses. Such great glass.

Another first for this project was the creation of custom music to accompany the video. Enter Ben Larson, a 25 year old prodigy who wrote, scored, and produced the entire musical backdrop to our video. Impressive stuf, and we hope to work with him more.

Ann Mara (the woman in the video) has a wonderful presence, and it was a lot of fun to work with her. Matt Smith helped out with direction and writing.
