story now, craft later
Wael's Project
“Working on this project has been a joy. From interviewing to finalizing the project it’s all been quite fun. The interview was really interesting as I learned so much from Ellie and truly thought her life was interesting and the way it’s meant to be lived. Transforming the interview was the hard part as I had to do something I’d realistically be capable of and something Ellie would like. I’ve settled on my format of a voice-over with pictures of flowers using Ellie’s real autobiography as a model. Much like the Autobiography, not only does my video talk about Ellie’s life it also uses flowers as Ellie believed that it would bring some happiness to such a story and I totally agreed. Moreover I wanted this video to feel personal and something truly highlighting Ellie so that was further reasoning to take motivation from the autobiography.” -Wael
