Why Drive Electric

2019 · Contest · Director, Animator, Editor

Directed, filmed, and edited this educational video promoting electric vehicle adoption in New York. Awarded Grand Prize, 2019 NYSERDA High School EV Video Contest.

I was inspired by my favorite show, Top Gear UK, to provide our test drivers (friends and family) a series of challenges they had to complete, such as a 0-60 test, visiting a charging station, and EV trivia to create authentic scenes.

The hopeful stats presented in the video are much different now, so if you need to quote something, verify it first.

Thank you to contest sponsors and supporters such as Ron Kamen, Jason Choi, NYSERA, Nissan of New Rochelle, and Sustainable Westchester.
