McCallie has done it again this year--great script, video elements, original. Fun. My top choice.

McCallie never disappoints! The costumes, production value, and humor in this video were entertaining from start to finish. This is a great example of showing the culture of your school without being overt about it. From a marketing perspective, the best videos can be cut up into differently sized pieces for multi-channel distribution—and this is a perfect example of that type of video. Excellent job!

Wow, this is kind of in a category of their own. Very impressive.

Kids trying to pronounce quasquicentennial. Some great expressions and outtakes. Loved the white background that really made facial expressions stand out. A good laugh at the end.

SO cute and original! It was very different from the other videos in that it didn't have an extensive script or agenda — It was a simple and fun way to celebrate a big milestone!

You turned what could have easily been passed over as a media opportunity into something that is memorable and impactufl, telling the story of the new mascot while simultaneously celebrating your community, facilities, services, and history.

This is a standout video! Gilman took something as simple as a mascot costume change and turned it into an engaging story. It was well-thought-out and humorous, keeping you engaged to the end. They subtly showed off their school, classes, and faculty in the process. As a marketer, this was an entry I found myself thinking about even weeks later!

This was great! I almost started crying at the end. Well done, team! I appreciate the scripting and the evidence of planning.
