About the Project
Sustainable startup Symmetry has an ambitious mission: to end deforestation. They've developed a way to synthetically create wood in a lab without cutting down trees.
They reached out to me to film and edit their video submission to the BioDesign Challenge, a competition that rewards projects breaking new ground in biotechnology. I went to work on filming the team during production sessions to document their process.
This project was the combination of many editing specialties. I worked with stock footage, sound design, digital animation, graphic design, and more to create a compelling 7-minute pitch.
The result of this video was increased awareness to their brand, eventually gaining the eyes of James Dyson and ultimately winning the 2021 James Dyson Award.
