Project Portfolio

Brittany Beheshti is a multidisciplinary visual effects artist, stop-motion compositor, and media producer whose work spans animation, documentary film, live events, and academic media research. She combines technical expertise with creative storytelling to support both artistic and research-driven projects.

Beheshti served as compositor on BUMPadoo!, a stop-motion animated preschool series produced in Toronto that blends tactile model animation with engaging visual storytelling for young audiences. The series follows a curious, shape-shifting alien learning about the world alongside his human friend, encouraging sensory and STEM exploration through handcrafted animation frames and playful compositing.

She was VFX Lead for George Harrison’s “Give Me Love” music video, taking the reins on visual effects for a project celebrating the legacy of Harrison — the legendary Beatles guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose work helped shape modern popular music. On this production, Beheshti guided visual effects design and execution, bringing together creative and technical elements to support the video’s artistic vision.

Beheshti also worked as a compositor on The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, an upcoming documentary directed by Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell that explores the promises and existential challenges of artificial intelligence. The film — produced by award-winning documentary teams and selected for the 2026 Sundance Film Festival — combines interviews with leading thinkers on AI and cinematic storytelling.

In addition to her visual effects and compositing work, she has contributed to Toronto’s cultural community as Coordinating Producer for Frequencies, a monthly electronic music night in Kensington Market dedicated to forward-thinking electronic artists, live performance, and production innovation. Frequencies has become known locally for highlighting experimental and contemporary music within Toronto’s vibrant nightlife and arts scene.

Beheshti’s professional range also includes research and leadership in academic media environments. She served as Research Manager & Media Lead at the Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI) at the University of Toronto, where she supported interdisciplinary research at the intersection of media, design, and knowledge systems — leveraging media practices to advance innovative research communication.

In 2024, Beheshti traveled to Costa Rica to collaborate with Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center, a leading wildlife rehabilitation and conservation organization. While on site, she shot & produced a series of short documentary films that highlight the centre’s mission, ethical rescue practices, and long-term vision for wildlife protection and environmental education. One of these short documentaries has since been selected for screening at the Los Angeles Short Film Awards.

Beheshti has also worked as an Educational Video Producer for York University, where she led the production of large-scale digital learning content designed to support accessible STEM and finance education. In this role, she produced 80+ educational videos across five finance courses, transforming static PowerPoint lectures into engaging, motion-driven learning experiences. In total, she was responsible for creating over 10 hours of educational programming (643 minutes), supporting scalable, high-quality online education.

Across animation, music video production, documentary film, event production, and academic media, Brittany Beheshti brings a blend of artistic sensibility, technical fluency, and collaborative leadership to projects that span creative and intellectual domains.
