LA Metro
This video earned my client, the LA Metro, numerous awards and changed the way they produced videos from being information heavy to being story-based and visual. It was made to get people ready for the construction of the train in their area and elicit warm feelings about what was to come to counter the traffic and construction noise they were about to experience and was highly effective.
