Over the semester our team has worked really hard to create this series of videos advertising the app FallCall! Maggie and Ali were our project coordinators, Ali took care of the motion graphics and also was very helpful on set dealing with camera and lights. Maggie took the lead on set and also helped out with the script writing. It was great that Kerrie let us use her acting skills for the “college student” video, she was really easy to work with and she also edited Noel’s video. Kaely edited Jim’s video and also provided the dog and house that we needed as props. David was really essential at our shoot in the woods helping with camera work and also worked on the sound for each video. Charlie was assistant director for the shoots in the studio with both Noel and Jim and was also very helpful when developing our idea and game plan with the client.

We had a few challenges throughout the process like finding older actors and dealing with weather, but overall we think that this was a successful project. In the beginning of the semester, we had a lot of different possible directions to take and we spent a lot of time deciding what would be most effective for our message. Because we wanted to promote the idea that everybody falls we thought the docuseries would be really effective. We developed this idea over the semester and had to do a lot of pre planning and scheduling to make it happen. Once the shots were in the can we split up the post production work and tried to make sure that each video had a cohesive look.

In the end we think that this video turned out well, to the best of our ability. Given more time we could have maybe been able to do test shoots, make a longer video or had more complex locations. However, we did with what we had and worked together to find the resources that we needed. The end product does a good job of marketing FallCall in a way that is engaging and interesting.
