Back to School
The Fall semester is fast approaching and it’s time to think about the great stories to be told at your school. Whether its student recruitment, alumni affairs, athletics, or donor engagement – an effective video can inspire, engage and connect on a level like no other.
We have worked with a diverse selection of schools and institutions with equally diverse budgets to produce the best message to be delivered via video; regardless if the final delivery is a full auditorium presentation, distributed DVDs, or online video via the Web.
In another post, “Start with what you have“, Amy talked about inexpensive ways to utilize media you have been collecting for years, and deliver it in an exciting way that static images cannot provide alone. Animation of static images is not the only way to produce a budget constrained video. Student and staff interviews, with solid storyboarding and editing, can deliver a very effective message to your target audience, whether that is incoming students, alumni, donors, athletics or other demographics you wish to reach.
The University of Richmond convocation video is a good example of using interviews to deliver a great story, in this case to have seasoned students offer advice and guidance to the new student body. University of Richmond students from all levels and disciplines talked about their first day, how they found their way, best ways to use the many available resources, and how their education will prepare them for the world after college.

Perhaps you need a broader message, or a larger scope in mind with your ideas for a video for your school. We can help you define and deliver that message as well, like we did for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
This project for SAIC was an in-depth look at everyday life at the school. From move-in day to graduation, this video showcased every major event of the academic year and highlighted the accomplishments of each department. Feature events, such as Bare Walls and the annual Fashion Show, were also highlighted.
