Bloomberg Philanthropies works to ensure better, longer lives for the greatest number of people by focusing on five key areas: the arts, education, the environment, government innovation, and public health. Encompassing all of Mike Bloomberg’s giving, Bloomberg Philanthropies includes his foundation, corporate, and personal philanthropy as well as Bloomberg Associates, a pro bono consultancy that works with mayors in cities around the world.
In early 2021, I worked with the production team at Bloomberg Philanthropies to create this video featuring a scholarship recipient as he describes his experience with the scholarship program. I concepted, illustrated and animated the visual story to accompany his dialogue that had been pre-recorded over a period of about three weeks. The video was presented at an event, and also posted on the organization’s social media accounts.
