History of New Haven

I collaborated with Robert Greenberg to produce a documentary exploring the rich history of New Haven, featuring his unscripted narration and a curated selection of historical documents he provided. This project highlights Greenberg's distinctive ad hoc storytelling style, seamlessly integrating his extensive digital archives. His narration, infused with enthusiasm and humor, weaves a captivating narrative about New Haven's rapid development over the centuries. To enhance the storytelling, I created a series of animations and composites that visually illustrate the concepts and events he describes, bringing the history to life.
