Samaritan Counseling Center // Nonprofit Event

Posted at h in Non-Profit Video



Samaritan Counseling Center Northwest is a Barrington, Illinois-based nonprofit organization that provides counseling services to individuals, couples, families, and groups.

The organization was holding a holiday fundraising event at The Garlands of Barrington. Our client wanted the video we produced to not only highlight the event but also to serve as a branding film for the organization.

In addition to filming with our High Definition DSLR video cameras, post production included the organization’s graphics. We create a full screen logo animation at the end and lower third graphics, which complimented the logo design. We also setup a YouTube channel for them, which will host future video content.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago // Annual Appeal Video Series

Posted at h in Non-Profit Video

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago is a nonprofit that provides youth with after school activities in some of Chicago’s toughest neighborhoods. As part of the organization’s annual appeal, they were mailing postcards that profiled specific club members and their personal stories. They wanted a series of videos that would compliment the mailers in an online multimedia presentation. Our idea was to profile specific club members and tell a story about their personal experiences with the neighborhood clubs.


We went to three of the nonprofit’s Chicago clubs to film with our DSLR and slow motion video cameras. We also recorded professional audio on location.

We edited all three videos in the series and worked with the client to deliver a seamless online visual presentation to its donors.
