Quimera worked with Social Impact to develop video components for SI’s evaluation training courses provided to the US Department of State, Designing Evaluation and Managing Evaluation. The footage used to create the videos was drawn from the USAID GEM-3 Project Evaluation Video, also developed by Social Impact and Quimera for USAID’s Office of Learning, Evaluation and Research (coming soon to USAID/ LER).

UBELONG partnered with Quimera to make video a part of their qualitative research toolkit during UBELONG’s Cusco Research Expedition. Quimera provided the team with some basic training prior to departure then it was up to the team to manage in the field. With a crazy schedule, packed with research and volunteering responsibilities, the team did a great job of documenting the expedition, capturing individual interviews, describing the process, initial thoughts, and overall experiences. While the camera rotated between team members the majority of the footage was shot by co-expedition team leader, and UBELONG Co-Founder, Raul Roman, a master behind the camera. Upon the team’s return to DC Quimera took the raw footage and edited the material into a video report which mirrored the same basic structure as the text-report.
