Happy to share a behind the scenes peak at one of the latest projects I've had the pleasure of working on for BBC News Arabic "Trending", and this VR explainer video.

Using a relatively small space in Studio K, myself and the team put together 7 virtual environments to tell the story. Doing this virtually not only expanded the scope of the project, but also allowed us to record everything in a short amount of time since set changes were now a click of a button away.

Big thanks to the entire team, Anthony J. Cook for directing, Fairouz Hosny and Serena Ghokeh for doing an amazing job telling the story and the rest of the Trending team and studio teams for their contributions, and Paul Pledger and Ryan Lazenby for steering it all and keeping us on track, as well as Caroline Pitt for overviewing and steering the design side. Was truly team work.
