Video for Educational Institutions
We leverage the power of film to help you connect to the people that matter in a deeply human way, making them feel, give, act, change and mobilize. Because people are inspired by stories about people. We hope you’ll be moved by some of the inspiring videos made for colleges and universities. From new student admissions films to alumni appreciation campaigns, we use video to show off the people and stories at your educational institution that make it a unique and vibrant campus.
Cornell College has a unique curriculum: their classes are a block schedule rather than semester. Potential applicants and their parents are wary of something unfamiliar. Plus, the College is small and perceived to be in the middle of nowhere. What to do? In a series of six videos, we focus on how immersed students are in their learning, how the College provides a myriad of off-campus courses around the world and prepares its graduates to hit the ground running as they go on to graduate school and their careers. This is the centerpiece
Video Can Recruit, Engage, And Inspire
Networking giant Cisco says video will account for 84% of all internet traffic this year. So, it’s important to find the balance between quantity and quality to send messages about your college or university. Luckily, there are many stories about an academic institution that are conveyed well on camera. Great footage shot on campus can show prospective students (and their parents) what the campus culture and daily life is really like. Capture the excitement of your student body and the innovation of your research program. You can also include student and administrator interviews to create emotional connection and inspire viewers to apply to your program, donate to your campaign, and celebrate your achievements along with you. Video ensures the delivery of your message when your on-camera leaders set the right tone and the production team does the rest.
Scripps College was launching a new donation campaign. So we had women from across the campus tell us what donations will do for their education. The theme “We Want More” captures the larger impact of an academic fundraiser. That money will strengthen the academic programs as well as the lifelong impact that Scripps College has on its community.
Share Your Organization’s Story On Camera
Video gives your institution an excellent opportunity to share why you are different and why that matters. From a unique curriculum to new campus additions, every college or university needs to market their advantages to prospective students. Showcase excellent achievements in research or outstanding faculty with video. Or celebrate your institution’s history on-camera. Videos that boast the long-term impact it has made on its students, community, nation, and the world excite people. You can use video to honor famous alumni or to introduce current members of your institution who are ready to make their own contributions to the world.
Tribe carefully selected passages from annalist letters to shape the content of this film. Woven together with stories and remarks about life at Hamilton today, this illuminated how the college has changed and yet stayed the same over 200 years. We shot in winter, spring and at commencement, using high-definition cameras, time lapse and a mini-copter for aerials, to capture the spectacular beauty and remoteness of their campus.
Recognize Your Tribe Through Video
Institutions and organizations today are expected to utilize digital video and social media. Build your online presence with meaningful and visually engaging video content. Tribe’s academic clients have harnessed the power of video to tell stories about their athletic achievements, scientific innovations, historic milestones, and countless excellent students. When videos about a college or university are short and straightforward, they are easily shareable on social media. With a personal touch, your educational institution can share your culture and values with large audiences and reach an even wider audience than ever before.
In addition to a main launch film that integrates experiences across schools and graduate and undergraduate programs, Tribe produced a series of modules that personify how Washington University in St. Louis and its students impact the world. This particular video reflects the University’s continued support for its faculty’s ground breaking research and student involvement in cutting edge projects.
