Multimedia: Music, Videos, Stories
Book Trailers
I am so lucky to have a partner in life who is also an artist. Nothing has made me happier than collaborating with him on these book trailers. Together we wrote the scripts, composed and performed the music, and created the visuals, either with still images+animation or pure 3D-rendered animation.
We would love nothing better than to be able to do this kind of creative work together. So, please, if you’re interested in having a book trailer made or any other audio+video project, drop us a line.
Before I Disappear
My friend’s beautiful book, Before I Disappear, really got our imaginations spinning. My partner animated the smoke, the lights, and all the image fades. And together, we wrote and played the music. We had so much fun adding vocals and cello to this project. I love this story with all of my heart, and I’m proud that this trailer tells a bit of that story.
The Birds, the Bees, and You and Me
By Olivia Hinebaugh (that’s me)
In this collab, I wrote the book and the script for this trailer. My partner did the rest: the music, the text, and the adorable animated enamel pins. (Original pin illustration credit goes to FOREAL.)
Performances
I love performing. It’s one of the most immediate ways to tell a story. Please enjoy some videos of performances I have given.
I am a fluent cuer. Cued Speech is a way to visually represent spoken phonemes, often used by some deaf/hard of hearing folks. I hope to do more to combine acting with cueing.
I read my essay in the inaugural production of This Is My Brave. This is the story of one of the hardest times in my life.
I played Snout in an outdoor performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Go to 1 hour 10 minutes if you want to see the play within the play.
Another performance with the City of Fairfax Theatre Company. I’m at the 7 minute mark.
This is part of a campaign to make Big Oil to pay for the damage they’ve done to the planet.
I appeared on Good Morning Washington to discuss why I think it should be no big deal that parents breastfeed/chestfeed in public.
