    uniE613 Rainbow Railroad Annual Report 2023
    Rainbow Railroad Annual Report 2023](https://www.twine.net/signin Summary I worked with Rainbow Railroad to create an Instagram Reel to announce the launch of their 2023 Annual Report. Objective The objective was to create an engaging Instagram reel while maintaining the organisation's serious tone, to announce the launch of the 2023 Annual Report. Idea Description We wanted soft transitions between the text and on screen graphics. I suggested using a picture of Chase, who gives a quote in the video, and also adding a duotone effect over the images we use—similarly to how it's used in the Annual Report. Execution Working with the Rainbow Railroad team, I designed storyboards using graphics from the 2023 Annual Report, staying true to the visual guidelines. Once we were all satisfied with these, I animated the boards, and selected a soundtrack to enhance the visuals.
