We were thrilled when the Loyola Blakefield marketing team reached out to us about creating an acceptance video for their school! This video was part of a campaign aimed at generating excitement and hype among new students and alumni. The video was sent to students who had recently been accepted, with the goal of creating a sense of anticipation.

For the concept, we drew inspiration from movie trailers, particularly referencing The Chronicles of Narnia and other fantasy films. Our team had a blast staging scenes with Loyola’s mascot, even incorporating a fog machine for added atmosphere. We are incredibly honored that this video earned us two prestigious awards: a Hermes Creative Award and an ADDY Award from the American Advertising Federation.

The project challenged our team to push our creative limits—creating cinematic visuals, filming complex scenes like an overhead basketball shot, and even shooting in the school’s swimming pool. We’re proud to have told this story and grateful for the opportunity to bring it to life!
