she collaborated with Victoria designer Stephanie Mould, adding pins, medals, and other details to bring the concept to life.<\/p>\n<p>Her role went far beyond clothes.<\/p>\n<p>She scouted extras, coordinated last-minute fittings, and problem-solved on set.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the finished video, which has already drawn more than 216,000 views on YouTube in five days, is rewarding, she said, not just for the recognition, but because it represents the culmination of years of growth.<\/p>\n<p>Makosinski became well-known as a 15-year-old for <a href=\"https:\/\/saanichnews.com\/2013\/09\/12\/ann-makosinskis-hollow-flashlight-heading-to-google-science-fair\/\" target=\"_blank\">her invention of a hollow flashlight<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While that invention was a major part of her early life, and began a parade of inovations, she felt it became something that everyone labelled her with.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, she has established herself as a &ldquo;renaissance woman.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I moved back to Victoria this February after living in New York and London,&rdquo; Makosinski said. &ldquo;Being back here made me feel so creatively free. I could try things and fully leave behind the identity I had as a science and inventor kid. This is me now, a creative director.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The video also reflects a personal passion for vintage fashion.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m so into vintage, the 1950s through the 1970s, so this was my era,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I love creating imagery that&rsquo;s evocative and tells a story. Music videos are like a fantastical world for people to fall into. If we can alleviate someone&rsquo;s mood or make them laugh for a few minutes, that&rsquo;s incredible.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>She said Victoria&rsquo;s balance of natural beauty and slower pace has allowed her to find stability while pursuing high-profile creative work.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As a kid, I thought I&rsquo;d leave forever for Hollywood,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;But the more I travelled, the more I realized Victoria is amazing. You can work, but also enjoy life, take your time, and still chase big ideas. For me, that&rsquo;s the perfect balance.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Makosinski&rsquo;s next projects include producing her first commercial independently, but for now, she&rsquo;s proud to have helped put Vancouver Island talent on a global stage.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s cool to see local talent woven into projects that reach so many people,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a lot happening behind the scenes that people don&rsquo;t see, but that&rsquo;s what makes the magic happen.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><em>&mdash; with files from Morgan Brayton and John McKinley<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vancouver Island talent and locations help showcase rapper&rsquo;s latest release, &lsquo;Debbie&rsquo; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":159876,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-159875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-video"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Welcome to Gravysmith: Behind rapper Yung Gravy&#8217;s small-town B.C. takeover - The Interior News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/13\/welcome-to-gravysmith-behind-rapper-yung-gravys-small-town-b-c-takeover\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Welcome to Gravysmith: Behind rapper Yung Gravy&#8217;s small-town B.C. takeover - The Interior News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Vancouver Island talent and locations help showcase rapper&rsquo;s latest release, &lsquo;Debbie&rsquo;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/13\/welcome-to-gravysmith-behind-rapper-yung-gravys-small-town-b-c-takeover\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Interior News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-11-13T15:30:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"none\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"none\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/13\/welcome-to-gravysmith-behind-rapper-yung-gravys-small-town-b-c-takeover\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/13\/welcome-to-gravysmith-behind-rapper-yung-gravys-small-town-b-c-takeover\/\",\"name\":\"Welcome to Gravysmith: Behind rapper Yung Gravy&#8217;s small-town B.C. takeover - The Interior News\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/13\/welcome-to-gravysmith-behind-rapper-yung-gravys-small-town-b-c-takeover\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/13\/welcome-to-gravysmith-behind-rapper-yung-gravys-small-town-b-c-takeover\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/11\/40852284_web1_251111-VNE-YungGravy-Stylist_3.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-11-13T15:30:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/#\/schema\/person\/8be4edca74839da05bc48ba285e538cc\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/13\/welcome-to-gravysmith-behind-rapper-yung-gravys-small-town-b-c-takeover\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/13\/welcome-to-gravysmith-behind-rapper-yung-gravys-small-town-b-c-takeover\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/2025\/11\/13\/welcome-to-gravysmith-behind-rapper-yung-gravys-small-town-b-c-takeover\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/11\/40852284_web1_251111-VNE-YungGravy-Stylist_3.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/interior-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/11\/40852284_web1_251111-VNE-YungGravy-Stylist_3.jpg\",\"width\":1200,\"height\":800,\"caption\":\"Andini Makosinski said it was an interesting task of finding outfits that could fit Yung Gravy, who stands at 6&rsquo;8&rdquo;.
