Chicago nonprofit video production

True Value Foundation // Mentorship Program


The True Value Foundation is a Chicago nonprofit that was founded by the True Value Company. True Value Company employees give back to the community with mentorship and service to the Boys & Girls Clubs and United Way organizations.

We were hired to produce a series of videos about the True Value Foundation’s mentorship program with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago.


We followed around the True Value Company employees as they volunteered at the Chicago nonprofit. Our crew included a Sony A7Sii camera, Ronin M, and an audio operator. Post production video services included producing the series of videos, coloring, audio mix, and editing.

Chicago Nonprofit animated explainer video

sharEd for Kids // Animated Explainer

sharEd is a Chicago nonprofit that makes quality learning materials and teacher training affordable in India. Their marketing team contacted us about creating a video that would visually describe what the nonprofit does for kids & schools in India. Based on their goals and content ideas, an animated video seemed like the best way to visually communicate the nonprofit’s message to its online video marketing audience.

Once the scripting phase was complete, we worked with a professional voiceover to track it. The next phase of Video production included animation. In this phase, the voiceover track was combined with music, sound effects, client-supplied home video, and the motion graphics for each scene in the video.

Youth of the Year Event // Navy Pier

Nonprofit event video production in Chicago is amazing. The annual Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago Youth of the Year Competition and Dinner is no exception. This year, nearly 1,000 people packed the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom to hear each of the candidates speak about their experience with the Chicago nonprofit’s clubs. The nonprofit event was emceed by WGN-TV’s Micah Materre. Speakers included Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
