The Three Little Frogs

An original story about three little frogs and their encounter with the alligator that lives next door. This is a retelling of a story that I told my children when they were little. I even wrote it down and illustrated it for them. For this video, I drew the alligator and the frogs as well as provided the narration.

I created the illustrations using Adobe Illustrator and used Canva to edit individual frames. Finally, I used Adobe Premiere Pro to create and edit the final product.

INCLUSION RIDER

Synopsis: The portrayal of women in the public space has morphed and evolved since early depictions in film and media. A woman’s life is a complex and beautiful journey where she shows the world that she can be complicated. She is kind, warm, sexy, intelligent, determined, depressed, enraged, reliable, forgetful and everything in between. Life’s journey isn’t just for the woman herself, but also for everyone who witnesses her life.

Background: I used all externally acquired footage and audio. There were no media elements that I either shot or recorded myself. I used Adobe Premiere Pro to create my video story.

Synopsis: This is the story of how painting became a part of therapy for me during a hard time in my undergrad.

Software Used: All images, title slides, and end credits were edited on Canva. The images were taken by me before the painting began. All video, sound effects, and narration were edited on iMovie.
