We plan to have a lot of sample material here for you to review. We have years of material to draw from, and it all needs to be re-encoded into the newer Flash format.

Have a Happy Sandwich (Ad campaign)
We rarely produce TV commercials, but when Kraft Foods put out the call for a 15-second Ad that would celebrate 50 years of Kraft Singles, we answered the call with this spot. Kraft supplied the music and ending tag, leaving about 13 seconds. The open-faced sandwich style allowed for some fun stop-action animation, but probably disqualified the video for taking too many liberties with grilled cheese depiction that was needed. So when Dominoes Pizza comes knocking, we’ll be ready.
This is one of six video “modules” we produced to promote the Licensure Program at the Hampshire Educational Collaborative. This teacher has nothing but praise for the program, which has prepared her not just to be licensed to teach in the State, but to be really effective in the classroom. Our aim was to give viewers a front row seat in her classroom so they could experience some of the classroom dialogue firsthand.
Another of the short promo pieces for the Hampshire Educational Collaborative, this time from the HEC Instructor’s point of view. The aim again is to give the prospective licensee a window into the training that the HEC Licensure Program offers. A constructive interchange from theory to practice is evident in the workshop style of the classes, where teachers share ideas and challenges with their piers, while receiving expert guidance.
Documentary/Promotional Piece
The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) asked us to document their solar model electric car competition for middle school students called the Junior Solar Sprint. All shot in one day at the Northeast Championship, we produced this 16-minute “report” for the U.S. Army, the program’s main sponsor. They liked it so much that they’ve used it for their own public relations! Although documentary-style production is less "efficient" (but often more effective!) than working from a script, this video achieved all of it’s goals and then some:
1) Documentation of the Championship event and the Program as a whole.
2) A thorough exploration of the challenges of the teaching/learning process.
3) Discussion about the need for more creative problem-solving opportunities (i.e. real-world "STEM" Programs--Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) for students.
4) A 10-minute version for YouTube and a 4-minute promo piece were also produced
