Erin’s Law PSA

Erin’s Law is named after childhood sexual assault survivor, author, speaker and activist Erin Merryn. “Erin’s Law” requires that all public schools in each state implement a prevention-oriented child sexual abuse program for students, school personnel and parents/guardians. Erin had seen our video production work online and asked us to produce two PSAs that would air on cable television and social media.

We received a message Wednesday around 4p asking how quickly we could put together a PSA. We coordinated a home and school to film in, 1 ton lighting truck & grip, Director of Photography, Camera Operator, Audio Operator, Makeup and Hair Stylist all for filming on Monday. The two PSAs were edited, colored, audio mixed, and delivered to the client by 4p the next day!

Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago // The Tree

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago is a nonprofit organization that we have been working with for several years. Each year, they hold their annual Youth of the Year event at Navy Pier. At the event, they wanted to explain to attendees how the candidates were chosen and what steps each candidate needed to do before they were able to speak that evening.

We worked with the nonprofit organization to produce an animated explainer video script that told a creative story about the candidate’s growth through the Youth of the Year process.

e-RentPay.com // Animated Explainer

eRentPay is an exciting new online property management tool for property managers and tenants. The software has a lot of great features. So, they needed an animated explainer video that quickly explained the software’s benefits.

Whenever we produce an animated explainer video, there are several steps in the production process. Our first step is learning more about the brand, what makes it unique, and how we can effectively communicate its marketplace position to the target audience. Then, we develop a script. Some brand are very straightforward professional while others might be more relaxed. Each video production is unique and we tailor each script to that brand. After script approval, we dive into the visuals and create several different styleframes from which the client can choose, which determines the overall visual approach of the animated explainer video. Scenes are created in Photoshop and animated in After Effects.

Simultaneously, we work with a professional voiceover to track the script. The voiceover dictates overall pacing of the piece. Scenes are timed to the voiceover track. Then, we add music and sound effects! This video was released on the company’s website and social media channels.
