“Uncharted”, the 2026 welcome video. Poem by Shauntelle Dick-Charleson. The Design Lead for 2026 was Jorge Puebla.

Problem

Each event needed an opening. Once everyone in the theatre had taken their seats and the lights dimmed, the welcome video was the first thing they saw, so it had to set the tone for the whole day.

Approach

Welcome videos

TEDx Victoria is presented by Redbrick. I made the welcome video for each of its first three events, “It's up to us” in 2024, “Ripples” in 2025, and “Uncharted” in 2026. Most of the footage in “Uncharted” I shot myself; the rest is a mix of AI-generated imagery and a little stock. “Ripples” was assembled mostly from stock video.

“It's up to us”, the 2024 welcome video. The illustration is by my teammate Samanta de Souza. I turned it into the video.
“Ripples”, the 2025 welcome video. Brand designer: Mandy Schollen.

Event recap

For the second event I also filmed and edited the recap video.

Outcome

The welcome videos opened their events and set the tone for the day. The 2025 recap became a keepsake of the day for attendees and speakers, and has since been used to promote the next TEDx Victoria.
