Salvation Army Refugee Services

This piece is SILENT and contains no audio as it was produced to run at Yonge Dundas Square (downtown Toronto) on a media tower with a large color video monitor during "World Refugee Day"... basically a video billboard like in New York's Times Square.


The 60 second billboard ran along with material from several other organizations that are involved with refugee services and the message had to be very simple... to bring awareness to the fact the Salvation Army is actively involved with helping refugees.


The images are from Albania circa 1999, shot on mini-DV but edited and colorized to have a "gritty film reel" texture.





If you have trouble viewing through the google video format above or want to view a higher res version... you can download/stream from:
