An educational video series for Pacific families preparing to move to Australia and finding their feet after arrival.
Helix+ needed a way to answer recurring questions about recruitment, migration and settling in Australia. The brief was to turn those questions into approachable videos and short social clips, using plain language and pointing viewers towards qualified advice where needed.
I produce and present an educational video series for Helix+, drawing on my experience moving from Fiji to Australia with my family. I plan each episode, write the script, present on camera and edit the footage. I also adapt key moments into short clips for social media, each built around one practical takeaway.
The featured episode introduces my family’s move. Later episodes cover the practical side of settling in, from looking for a rental to finding a routine. My radio background shapes how I write and present each episode. I start with a real moment and use plain language to explain what I learned from it.
I wanted the Helix+ series to feel like a conversation with someone who has been through the move. I filmed every episode at home, drawing on my family’s experience of moving from Fiji to Australia. The home setting gives the series an informal feel that suits stories about everyday decisions, from looking for a rental to finding a routine in a new place.
At a time when AI-generated video and voices are becoming more common, I wanted viewers to hear these stories in my own voice. I kept some of the rough edges of a home recording and used digital elements sparingly to clarify a point or give viewers context. My radio background shaped that approach. I start with a moment I remember clearly and tell it the way I’d tell it to someone sitting across from me.
I record with the equipment I have at home, including a second-hand microphone. Most of my gear was bought second-hand, so I work with what I have and pay attention to the things that make the biggest difference, especially whether my voice is clear and easy to follow.
I chose Filmora as my main video editor because the subscription fit my budget and it ran more smoothly on my laptop than Premiere Pro. That gave me a practical way to edit full episodes and cut shorter versions for social media on the same setup.
