I created all the graphics and visual effects for Nadine Lustre's endorsement videoo for 2022 presidential candidate LeniRobredo. While this video was an outright political endorsement, it also played a part in a larger movement that aimed to battle misinformation, represent the needs of the marginalized, and defend democracy.
Nadine Lustre is one of the country's most popular actresses and recording artists. One of the longstanding memes about her is that she is supposedly the actual president of the country. This video pokes fun at that among other jokes about her by making it seem like she's passing her title onto Leni Robredo-the Liberal Party's 2022 presidential candidate, a human rights lawyer and formerlu the vice president of the country.
