Camp Courage Highlight Video #2

Client: Calgary Fire Department

This is a video that I filmed, edited and produced for the 2022 edition of Camp Courage Calgary, a summer camp for girls aged 16-18 who are considering careers in tri-services. The camp lasts for 7 days and gives the participants the opportunity to experience what it is like to train to become a police officer, a firefighter, and an EMT. I filmed the majority of this video on a Sony Z90, while my mentor, Karl Leung, filmed the interviews on a Sony FS7.

This video was primarily produced by myself with regular check-ins from my mentor. The goal for this video was to feature all of the participants as equally as possible while highlighting the activities they partook in throughout the week-long camp. The biggest challenge I faced while producing this video was achieving the goal of featuring everyone equally. With a printed list of all the participants beside me, I kept a tally of how many times each girl showed up prominently in the video and made continous adjustments until I, my superior, and the client were all happy with the finished product.
