Making Illinois
I’m excited to share a project that Abigail Bobrow, Rebecca Schultz, and I have been working on for the last 8 months, and that we first started ideating over two years ago! Making Illinois is a three-part video series documenting our journey across campus to meet makers and learn more about their shops and the way that they work. Abby also wrote an awesome story with photographs by Joe Brumleve to accompany our second episode, which appears in this year's issue of STORIED magazine that will start hitting mailboxes this week.
This was our team's first foray into long-form video storytelling, my first time editing, and my first time as the "talent" in over a decade. Four days of principal photography, one chunk of footage lost, and hours of editing later, I'm really happy to put this out into the world. Watch all three videos below or on the STORIED website:
