Informational videos about Veteran benefits
Veterans Affairs has been a big client of the marketing firm Reingold that I worked at from 2012-2015. So throughout those years I created a lot of videos for VA, and I put a few of the best highlights on this page. I also did some VA work freelance for Reingold after I left there, which includes the videos called Veteran Community Care, DS Logon, and Connected Care.
These videos originate from various departments and initiatives with the VA, so that is why there is no consistent animation style. Each is its own standalone project. The videos from 2015 and earlier were all part of a series of 3-7 videos; I just included a few samples here.
All of these videos have one thing in common, which is the departments desire to spread clear information about the benefits available to Veterans and how to receive them. Sometimes the video’s intent was to explain the order of operations to VA employees themselves, such as the CCN video below. I hope these videos reached their intended audience and helped people to get the help and care they need and deserve for serving this country.
Office of Connected Care (OCC). Explaining the Community Care Network (CCN) and what health care is available and how it is administered.
Connected Care. Explainer about virtual technologies to manage and receive healthcare.
DS Logon. Explainer about an app to manage appointments with the VA.

Explains the VBA’s transformation to improve the processing of veterans’ disability claims, introducing centralized intake, specialized claim-processing lanes, and cross-functional teams to streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and deliver faster, more consistent decisions for veterans.
Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). Highlights the VA's wide range of benefits and services supporting veterans and their families, including financial assistance, education, employment services, and home loan programs.
Explains education and training opportunities available to veterans through the GI Bill, like helping cover tuition, fees, housing, books, and supplies, while supporting college, vocational training, and career development through ExploreVA.gov.
