Ma'an Academy
A fundraising video for Ma'an Academy, built from owner interviews and coverage of the kids and their daily programs.
My role: Solo filmmaker, editor, colorist, and audio engineer
Overview
I independently produced a fundraising video for Ma’an Academy, from filming and interviews through editing, color, and audio finishing. The film introduces the school through its owners and the children taking part in its programs.
Rather than a narrator explaining the school, I let the work speak for itself: I captured the kids in their daily programs and activities, then interviewed the owners to put the school’s mission and story in their own words. The result is a film that introduces the academy through the people who built it and the students it serves.
Everything was shot on my Panasonic Lumix S5IIX, with a Rode VideoMic Go 2 on-camera for clean, directional interview and event audio. In post I handled the full pipeline in DaVinci Resolve — story edit, audio engineering to clean up and balance the interviews, and color grading to give the footage a consistent, finished look.
