Every year, the occupational therapy students at University of Alberta challenge OT students across Canada to see who can display OT pride through the "gOT spirit challenge". UBC MOT students started brainstorming and thought a video would be a great way to spread OT awareness. Inspired by the "Ask for it" campaign posters that display the words "Because of Occupational Therapy, I can..." MOT students set about putting together the video. There are a few other YouTube videos that use a similar animation style and those videos inspired this project.
The MOTs at UBC are a wealth of creative talent! The team thought of different characters and how to draw OT interventions. We wanted to include a variety of practice areas so we came up with twelve characters with different goals. Our wonderful artists (Marie, Emily and Heather) sketched out all the drawings and we were very lucky to have an experienced video editor (Chad) as a classmate who helped us film and edit everything. As well, a group of MOT students volunteered to add their voices. It was a huge team effort and we are very excited about the final product!
CAOT-BC congratulates the MOTs at UBC for creating such a great video about occupational therapy. Please share it with your colleagues, friends and family!
