Innovation Insight

Originally started as a class presentation, this project grew into a collaboration between myself, UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, the Hussman School of Journalism and UNC Blue Sky Innovations (previously Reese Innovation Lab) to research and produce three multimedia packages in the style of Vox’s short-form video explainers.

After shooting over 70 hours of footage, making two cross country trips and the creation of one LLC, UNC Blue Sky Innovations published a series of social content spearheaded by three videos focused on explaining the following: NFTs, the Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence.

Recognized by the Hearst Journalism Awards Program as 1st Place video for Innovative Storytelling as well as Multimedia Story of the Year.
