I collaborated with the City of Ontario’s Planning Department on the 2025 Model Colony Awards, which celebrate residents, businesses, and neighborhoods preserving historic properties. While the initial scope focused on creating promotional Instagram Reels and YouTube videos, I identified a need for stronger visuals and took initiative to redesign the campaign's look and feel. I developed a sepia-toned visual identity combining modern elegance with vintage inspiration, striking a balance between tradition and contemporary design that reflects the essence of the awards.

This final video in a five-part series was crafted to highlight the 2025 Model Colony Award recipients during a City Council meeting. As the lead on shooting, directing, and editing, I ensured a cohesive narrative across the series. I strategically selected music, designed graphics, and created an animated title sequence to enhance the storytelling and engagement of the presentation.
