After having our initial CTI Video pitch meeting with members of the CTID team, Hope, Maddie, Caroline, and I eagerly began moving forward with the project. In short, we were tasked with coming up with a creative way to display FHI 360’s efforts, based off of Dr. Dorflinger’s speech “I’ve got you under my skin” and a Georgia Tech video regarding microneedle patches. We decided to create a stop motion whiteboard design, and spent a substantial amount of last week ideating: thinking of potential graphics that pertained to Dr. Dorflinger’s script (that we typed up word-for-word from the video).
One particular aspect that stuck with the team was when she talked about her partners/collaborators; to illustrate this, we would draw a world map and then people (or the “team”) in the areas in which FHI 360 has a big influence. While Hope and Caroline were at a meeting, Maddie and I decided to jumpstart this particular part of the project. Maddie drew the world on a whiteboard, with me drawing the parts that were unreasonably high up, and we proceeded to video, utilizing the app hyperlapse. It was super fun, and we are really enjoying this project, for it appears they would like to incorporate our ideas and possibly even illustrations into the actual video!
Another part of the video we are continuing to work on is the big finale. An actual match would be lit, and then a real IUD (that looks like a firework) would move away from it, transitioning to multiple drawings that fanned out. After this happens, someone would snap their fingers and all of this would be erased. Then, the FHI 360 logo would be hand-drawn (and sped up), and finally rotate 360 degrees. All in all, I am really enjoying my time at FHI 360, and am sad its beginning to come to an end.
