Hanson Robotics — Sophia the Robot Interview Series
The problem
Hanson Robotics needed a globally-shot interview series built around a robot that had to read as a subject, not a prop.
The approach
Run the video team in-house and travel with the engagements rather than covering them remotely.
What was built
Global interview series featuring Sophia the Robot, including Deepak Chopra and the United Nations. Gavin ran the team as Senior Video Producer.
The outcome
Series produced January 2018 to January 2019 — hands-on AI-and-media work years before the generative wave.
Between January 2018 and January 2019, Gavin ran the video team at Hanson Robotics in Hong Kong, producing the company’s global interview series featuring Sophia the Robot — including engagements with Deepak Chopra and the United Nations — traveling internationally with collaborator Michael Franz.
This is a genuinely strong, AI-adjacent credit from years before the current generative-AI wave — evidence of hands-on work at the frontier of AI-and-media long before it became the industry’s central conversation.
