Former Student – Laura Grant’s Video

Many of our community will remember Laura Grant, one of our former students and graduates from the Class of 2011. She recently completed the video below, which aired on British television and she has this to say, 

“When The Pokémon Company reached out to my company looking to make an emotional trailer, I knew immediately I wanted to be involved!

I jumped into the project from the very beginning – I worked with my Creative Director and co-wrote the script, worked on a rough animatic storyboard, chose the music (yes, we picked the song right at the very beginning!) and presented several ideas back to Pokémon. Luckily, my favourite one was chosen.

Once the concept was picked, I worked with my team to choose the right director for the project, cast the trailer and sign off the locations for the shoot. Once we were on set for the 3 day shoot, I got to have a lot of creative input, from signing off room designs and shots to making suggestions about performance. Afterwards, I worked very closely with our editor, animators and motion graphics designers to put the piece together.

And throughout the whole project, I was able to provide and sign off Pokémon details and knowledge – from working with the art team to add subtle touches of Pokémon themed décor around the house, to my very first suggestion that we should use Squirtle!”
