Brief

We were asked to come up with a quick and simple video for the launch of the Aston Excellencescholarships initiative, which would sum up the messages and feature Aston students as its stars, while being visually interesting.

Once we decided on the idea of getting students to hold signs featuring the pertinent information, then the whole project came together very swiftly. We wrote a script to purposely run at about 45 secs, then storyboarded it and submitted it for approval. We used head shots of students from the Aston Portraits project; the voiceover was recorded by MLT’s Producer, Nick Birch; the students were sourced from the marketing department placement students, we took photos for the video in our CLIPP Studios; and the whole video was assembled and rendered by MLT Graphic Designer Steve McHale. It was turned around in approximately 5 days and was uploaded to the university YouTube Channel and embedded on the relevant webpage.
