Even as an audience unfamiliar with Sedbergh, this piece’s opening immediately engaged me. The animation throughout was a powerful way to illustrate the school’s history, vision, and capital projects. I really enjoyed this fresh approach to campaign communications.

I liked the originality of the graphics and it was a compelling film.

The overall execution of this piece was great! Vibrant b-roll was edited beautifully. When it’s not done well, multiple narrators can be distracting, but here it felt seamless—with consistent tone, pace and audio levels. At less than a minute, it's proof a short, direct message can be even more compelling than a long-form campaign video.

A simple approach, but a compelling message. Strategically, using parents as the only storytellers in a campaign anchor video was unique and made the case for support stronger and more direct. Beautiful interview footage and b-roll were combined seamlessly.

Stunning videography! Great job in sharing various perspectives of parents and the range of roles parents have at the school.. and how each is important.
