Animal Media Group approached me to create a trailer for their latest book release and memoir of Nobody's Girl.
Barbara Amaya's memoir describes her loss of innocence and transformation through modern day slavery and journey from a trafficking victim to human rights advocate.
To tease her story through a visual narrative, we built moments of anxiety by framing a dark setting with engaging visuals curating awareness of sex trafficking the most delicate and effective way we could. It was humbling to find out that we touched a lot of audience including the award winning author herself.
The music played a very big role in this project. Having the creative freedom to set the tone musically is always a great challenge to direct and I very much enjoyed working closely with Paul to achieve that. The technical part I enjoyed the most from this project was the raw and organic outcome we created after each pass went by. I very much enjoyed animating with Photoshop brushes and discovering what 3D body paint could do.
