'Where The Story Begins' showcases the diverse range of experiences and opportunities offered to students at the College of Arts & Sciences in a 1 minute spot. We get to reflect on these experiences in a flip book-esque montage, between take off and landing, from the high dive at CU's Rec Center pool.
Featuring an actual CU graduate with scenes based on her real experiences as a student, it was a tremendous honor to bring this authentic concept to life.
A very big thank you to Erika Randall and Tim Grassley for entrusting me with their original idea and our hero student, Rachel as well as all the extras who made time in their busy schedules for us.
We shot this entire spot in just two days! One for the pool scenes and one for all of the student life montage. Erika and Tim crushed it on the logistics for all the locations and talent to make it happen in a short window on campus.
Slated for distribution on streaming services and connected TV's this fall.
