This is all qualitative, not quantitative. It’s binary. Either the stories work or they don’t. Either they get remembered and acted upon, or they don’t. We even wanted to develop a tears index for our stories, but we decided we'd rather not (as it can get a bit too cheesy). We will let our viewers be the judge... - ### The Corporatey (year review videos; highlight reels; employee profiles...) Don't limit your vision to just work. You may be pleasantly surprised that we all love to learn about what our coworkers do outside of work.       - ### GIFs & Animated Vignettes ![16_9_Chicago-Helsinki_AdobeExpress](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/16_9_Chicago-Helsinki_AdobeExpress.gif?width=600&height=338&name=16_9_Chicago-Helsinki_AdobeExpress.gif) A quick snapshot of the flight route of GE Healthcare's filmmaker correspondent trotting the globe talking to people helping with the fight against COVID-19.   ![Gretel-bubble-maps-16x9](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/Gretel-bubble-maps-16x9.gif?width=600&height=338&name=Gretel-bubble-maps-16x9.gif) A few seconds of motion montage of dot maps from JPA Health's Gretel insights engine illustrating distributed interests of targeted audiences on certain health topics.   Variations of animated social assets created for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)'s National Prevention Week 2023 campaign   ![EverestGlacier_1921-2007 wLiberty lrg](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/EverestGlacier_1921-2007%20wLiberty%20lrg.gif?width=600&height=405&name=EverestGlacier_1921-2007%20wLiberty%20lrg.gif) A layman's eyes always need some help. A dotted line to show where the glacier was. And a Statue of Liberty to give the viewer a sense of perspective and scale. ![S&P500 in 2020](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/S%26P500%20in%202020.gif?width=756&height=426&name=S%26P500%20in%202020.gif) ![AirAnimated-sliding-2009-06-full](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/AirAnimated-sliding-2009-06-full.gif?width=600&height=417&name=AirAnimated-sliding-2009-06-full.gif)     - ### Promotional Whether it's a full-production video or a couple of animated slides with exciting news to share with followers, it's all accomplishable, and quickly. Here's a 2-min video promoting a book launch for National Geographic photographer Michael Yamashita: (This is a classical case of turning mostly still photos into a video narrative.)   Or we can thinking about a GIF snippet of a visual illustration of an idea or a change in the physical world. Below is an animated vignette of a pancaking glacier under Mt Everest. ![EverestGlacier_1921-2007 wLiberty lrg](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/EverestGlacier_1921-2007%20wLiberty%20lrg.gif?width=516&height=348&name=EverestGlacier_1921-2007%20wLiberty%20lrg.gif)   - ### Explainers, How-tos An explainer can be as short as a commercial, such as this feature promo of a web site:   Or as detailed as this one:   - ### Multi-formatted Here are a few animated social event-promoting social shout-outs in various aspect ratios for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.: ![NPW FB3](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/NPW%20FB3.gif?width=270&height=152&name=NPW%20FB3.gif)![NPW FB2](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/NPW%20FB2.gif?width=270&height=152&name=NPW%20FB2.gif) ![NPW IG3](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/NPW%20IG3.gif?width=270&height=270&name=NPW%20IG3.gif)![NPW IG2](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/NPW%20IG2.gif?width=270&height=270&name=NPW%20IG2.gif)   - ### Motion Options The same words, different ways of slicing and dicing (sorry for overload of choices): ![life-filled career TITLE 01-1](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/life-filled%20career%20TITLE%2001-1.gif?width=1280&height=720&name=life-filled%20career%20TITLE%2001-1.gif) ![life-filled career TITLES 02](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2002.gif?width=1280&height=720&name=life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2002.gif) ![life-filled career TITLES 03](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2003.gif?width=1280&height=720&name=life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2003.gif) ![life-filled career TITLES 04](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2004.gif?width=1280&height=720&name=life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2004.gif) ![life-filled career TITLES 05](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2005.gif?width=1280&height=720&name=life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2005.gif) ![life-filled career TITLES 06](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2006.gif?width=1280&height=720&name=life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2006.gif) ![life-filled career TITLES 07](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2007.gif?width=1280&height=720&name=life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2007.gif) ![life-filled career TITLES 08](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2008.gif?width=1280&height=720&name=life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2008.gif) ![life-filled career TITLES 09](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2009.gif?width=1280&height=720&name=life-filled%20career%20TITLES%2009.gif)   - ### Family & Kids I have two boys so a lot of family oriented projects are baseball, flag football and other youth athletic activities. Check out some of these highlights for inspirations or ideas that you may have. Your imagination is the fuel. The rest we can help bring to life.   #### The hand-saving rig that keeps my fingers unfrozen while filming flag football in winter: ![Flag football tripod and chest phone mount rig](https://michaelcontent.us/hs-fs/hubfs/Flag%20football%20tripod%20and%20chest%20phone%20mount%20rig.jpg?width=2452&height=1770&name=Flag%20football%20tripod%20and%20chest%20phone%20mount%20rig.jpg)Above: a tripod that elevates a GoPro like mini camera to a high vintage point and a chess phone mount that holds my phone, aka the camera viewfinder without freezing my hands working the phone while recording #### Evan's athletic highlights from season 2024/25: Note: you would definitely want to shoot HDR in the sun, and 4K preferable as you will have much more room to punch in when editing. Reach out if you are serious about filming. --- ### Livestreams or (pre)recorded events/conferences Planned, (virtual) set-directed and edited a CEO livestream for Arvinas/Oerth Bio on LinkedIn Live --- Storytelling/narrative reel Animation/data/graphics reel ## Keep dreaming Think outside the box. Push the envelope. Let ideas bloom. [Drop a note for a call or consult...](mailto:michaelzhao2030@gmail.com) Adamant HubSpot Theme by [Kohorta](https://kohorta.co) © 2026. All rights reserved
