Kitimat Bound - Project Summary
D. Rigo Media x munro / thompson
A collaborative project serving the District of Kitimat with the focus of telling the stories of three locals, Champions of Kitimat and Northwest BC, who relocated from larger cities and now call Kitimat home.

Tapping internal sources at the District and local business, we found and interviewed compelling residents to choose our 3 local champions.

Building a production narrative around our Champion’s life in Kitimat - their work, their play - their whole life.

The process of actually creating everything you see on this page is the simple act of editing, revisions, and collaboration between Client and Agency.
Modular Content
Today’s content needs are mixed media - this means deliverables needed to be long form video, short form video, vertical video.
We were able to maximize our Client’s dollar by using the long form content pieces and create short form social media cutdowns.
Each resident feature (above) has a 15 second and 30 second cutdown, as well as an overarching “hero” reel that brings together all 3 narratives.
