Filmmaking Mentor/Music Videos/Promotional Video - City of St. Albert
About the Project
Since 2015, I have worked as a Mentor with Amplify St. Albert. Amplify St. Albert is a youth-led initiative supported by the City of St. Albert that helps foster arts and arts programming for local youth. Part of this program has been to help youth create music and poetry videos with the hope of giving them a professional demo piece to help them grow as artists. This program partnered myself with teams of young emerging musicians or poets, with youth interested in filmmaking. I would then help facilitate the creation of a music or poetry video and helped the participants walk through the technical aspects of filmmaking. To date, this program has created over 25 videos for youth artists.
In 2022, I was hired to help create a promotional video for amplify. This video was conceptualized and designed by the Amplify youth participants, and executed by myself. The goal of this video was to both promote the multi-facitited offerings of Amplify, as well as to take youth who were interested in the process of filmmaking through the steps of creating a video like this.
