A Season of Eye Candy

Telling a Story 30-Seconds at a Time

My latest assignment for Interlochen Arts Camp was to develop seven 30-second youtube commercial spots for each of the seven divisions of education offered at the summer camp program. The short videos are designed to run as youtube pre-roll advertising moments as well as sit on the front page of each camp division to serve as eye candy to entice potential clients to dig deeper into the web site.

Acting as DP, camera operator and producer was challenging but also, working within teams of other talented people from the voice over to the scripting continues to prove to be an awarding way to produce work.

Eye Candy

Interlochen Arts Camp was looking for some eye candy to dress up the entry page of their summer arts camp web page. A one-minute and 44 second splash of video and the best the camp has to offer was my answer. The intention is to pull potential clients deeper into their web site. [NOTE: Updated in 2017]

When Stars Mingle with the Bright Stuff of Dreams

Getting this story out for my favorite client ever was, shall I say, a bit of an arm twister. To tell a story in video you need access to all aspects of that story. Without the access, it becomes very hard to truly get the piece together the way you dreamed it to be. My dream was interrupted several times but in the end, I got enough sleep that I was finally able to push this piece out the published door. Hope you got the Rush reference. If not, go relive the 80's, eh!

Thanks Kat!

I'm not a fan of cats, but this one with a "K" I adore. I was impressed by her ability to act and portray emotion, my weak attempt at telling her story comes no where close to her true ability as a young actress. Powerful things can come in very small packages.

Learning Patience

Sometimes you just have to let go of your work, take a step back – then re-engage and a piece like this will finally get completed. Interlochen hired me to build a 3-minute promotion video to recruit counselors for their summer camps. They need hundreds of them every year – and it seems it worked – I see every cabin has a counselor in it! Wait for the time lapse at 2:40, the lights turning off in the cabin gave the lapse just that extra Broekema touch. Now you have to watch the whole thing to see what I am talking about.
