"Ten Years Together"

Take a look HERE to see all ten of the sped-up animation videos I drew to celebrate Naheed Nenshi's tenth anniversary as Calgary's Mayor. (Here's one example.)

Today, I'm sharing a story of resilience.

This place that we call home is tremendous. No matter what challenge Calgarians have faced, they've responded for not only themselves and their families, but also to support our community.

This is Ten Years Together. I hope you enjoy. pic.twitter.com/6d1DoEaRPH

"Baby, Toddler & Me"

Take a look HERE to see some videos published by the Calgary Public Library in 2021 and featuring some live drawing by me.
(Here's one example.)

A few other examples

Take a look HERE to see a few other videos I've been part of. Here's one I shot on my phone, to tell people about my 2021 TEDxYYC talk about graphic medicine!

A note about videos

Animated explainer videos are so popular! I am often asked about making them. Here's what you should know: A video is a lot more than just the pictures. It starts with a script. If it's a live shoot, a videographer is needed (and a space to film the work). In COVID times, when an in-person shoot is not possible, the drawing might be done digitally. Either way, the video needs editing (for example, a voiceover might need to be added).

Why do I mention all this? Just to give you an idea of some of the complexities that might go into an animated video, before you get in touch!

The videos were shot, edited & produced by Ryan Northcott of MEDIAPOP Films - a great local collaborator!
