We produced two videos related to this event. The first video we produced showed how the candidates prepared for competition. That video was shown at the event. The second video (shown above) is a recap of the Youth of the Year Award Event, which took place at Chicago’s Navy Pier.

We had two of our DSLR video cameras at the event to capture speeches and various b-roll. The finished produced piece included soundbites from many of the candidates, board members, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Post production services included b-roll drops of the event video footage to local Chicago television news stations and distribution of professionally printed DVDs with custom motion DVD menus to the organization’s donors. Many of the DVDs included customized video greetings from the candidates to specific donors.

It’s been an amazing journey for nine members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago. With 19 Clubs throughout the city of Chicago, the nonprofit organization inspires our city’s youth to develop character, leadership, and a willingness to serve their Clubs and community.

The Youth of the Year Award is the organization’s highest local honor; rewarding leadership, service and academic standing. The competition gives us a rare glimpse into the lives of Chicago’s youth positively affected by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, and provides an opportunity to celebrate the success of its members, the efforts of its staff and volunteers, and the powerful impact of its programs.

The Youth of the Year Award competition includes several steps along the way, culminating in a public speech, which was held at a Navy Pier event. Those in attendance included Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The purpose of the video was to show attendees what the nominees face in their individual neighborhoods, what they did to prepare for the speech, and how the Clubs impact their lives. We filmed at four of the organization’s Clubs, filmed b-roll of various preparations for the competition, and conducted eleven interviews. Our services also included a local TV news station b-roll drop for local newscasts.

When the video played at the Navy Pier event to over 900 people, it received a huge round of applause (and even some tears). It has been an amazing journey and we want to congratulate Evelyn from the Cotter Club for winning the award! To watch a recap video of the Youth of the Year event, CLICK HERE.

Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago

Posted at h in Non-Profit Video


The Children’s Service Board is one of the most active and successful philanthropic affiliated organizations of the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. They’ve supported the creation a new state-of-the-art hospital and are now engaged in a five year, $3 million commitment to support the hospital’s Division of Pediatric Surgery, which is the largest provider of general pediatric surgery in Chicago.

While planning its fundraising event, they contacted Delack Media Group, asking if we could produce a video that told an emotional, visual story about the hospital and its impact on patients. We came up with the concept of interviewing former patients’ families and combining those soundbites with visuals of them and of the new facility. Paired with musical scores in post production, their personal stories came alive. Eight months later, and many months of planning…we were able to produce a video that tells a story about the organization and its mission. The Children’s Service Board raised over $412,000 for Lurie Children’s Hospital, which was a record-setting year for the organization!
