Before Universal Epic Universe opened its gates, guests needed a way to imagine what awaited beyond its iconic portals. In partnership with Framestore, I provided creative direction for key visuals and cinematic CGI media that introduced audiences to the park’s immersive storytelling and invited them to envision the adventures that lay ahead. The short films captured the wonder of stepping through Epic Universe’s iconic portals into Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and the cosmic heart of the park, Celestial Park. By transforming concept into compelling visual storytelling, the media was used across multiple campaigns and activations to help build anticipation and give millions of future guests their first glimpse of the extraordinary worlds they would soon experience firsthand.
How do you convey the essence of a brand at pivotal moment in time? A “sizzle reel” is pretty great way to do it. Whether its for a consumer audience, a theater full of investors, or thousands of team members across a global enterprise, a compelling video can inspire and educate viewers in a way that nothing else can. It can be a spark of inspiration, a motivating rallying cry, or a reminder that we are a part of something greater than ourselves.
Throughout my career I’ve had the privilege to produce, creative direct and/or edit several videos that allow brands to engage with their audience in an impactful and meaningful way.
