A Resilient Waterfront, A Learning Landscape: Boston Children’s Museum’s Bold Vision to Protect our Waterfront and Community. Boston Children’s Museum is undertaking an ambitious waterfront project which will transform our property to better protect the Museum and our community from flooding and sea level rise. In this video, learn about the Museum’s bold approach to create a groundbreaking, interactive learning landscape on the waterfront that will act as an example for Boston and of living with a changing climate.

As executive producer for A Resilient Waterfront, A Learning Landscape, I learned how to distill a large scale project, like the Museum’s Waterfront Design plan, into a clear, compelling story that captivates and informs our viewers. At the start, I conducted a series of interviews with colleagues to dive deeper into the story we wanted to tell. By asking questions, conducting research, and identifying our audience and stakeholders, I was then able to create a strategic project brief to guide our messaging and goals.

Next, I put together an RFP to find a professional videographer to assist with production. Working with an outside agency  allowed me to take the Museum’s waterfront story and the video project vision to the next level. After selecting the production company, Path8, I worked alongside the Path8 team to refine and focus our project goals, identify the key figures and events we wanted to capture, assist in directing videography on site, and consult on editing decisions throughout the production phase.

In January 2019, I studied abroad in Japan and produced a short documentary highlighting the Asian Rural Institute’s (ARI) pillar of “Servant Leadership,” I began by storyboarding, and developing an AV script, then coordinating interviews with four ARI staff and volunteers, and directing, shooting, and finally editing the video into a cohesive and compelling narrative on Adobe Premiere Pro.
