Segment: Henry Huntington Builds the City of the Future
About the Project:
- Client: Nexstar Media/KTLA
- Project: 2020 Countdown to the Rose Parade
- Role: Segment Producer
Henry Huntington, one of the richest men in California’s history, had a vision to transform the flatlands of Southern California into a marvelous, expansive city of the future. This segment celebrates his vision through historical images as well as interviews with experts at the Huntington Museum.
My Contribution:
KTLA needed a segment that brought what could be a stale history of Henry Huntington to life with an energetic look at his legacy. Avoiding all things old-fashioned, I focus on the visionary and free-thinking elements of Huntington’s transformation of Los Angeles in a way that could connect with modern audiences. Incorporating everything from seed preservation to the sound of passing satellites, I proved that Henry Huntington did indeed transform this city into a modern hub of knowledge and science.
