Universitas 21

Bringing a network of universities to life through the power of video.

The brief.

Universitas 21 (U21) is a global network of leading universities which fosters collaboration, shares knowledge, and improves education on an international scale.

I was asked to film and edit a series of short welcome videos from U21's Provost, Jenny Dixon.

The solution.

I began by chatting to U21's communication team about the purpose of the videos, who they would be shown to, and where.

We discussed the intended look and feel and set about developing a storyboard and script.

I filmed the videos in a small office at the University of Birmingham where I liaised with U21's Provost, Jenny Dixon, to record all of the required 'pieces to camera'.

I rearranged the furniture and used colourful LED lighting to bring the space to life. (Some of the staff couldn't believe the transformation!).

Finally, I took the footage away to be edited. The video was compiled with music, enhanced with on-screen graphics, and rendered with subtitles.

The result.

"The video is wonderful - we are so grateful to you for your swift turn around and your fantastic guidance. The video is a step change in how U21 communicates and you have been instrumental in that."
