Video Storytelling makes your vision come alive.
Case Studies
Problem: Modern education certainly has its flaws, one of the biggest being that it has a very narrow definition of intelligence. People who don’t fit that narrow definition of intelligence are often told they are stupid, simply because their kind of intelligence was not deemed of value by the school.
Solution: We teamed up with George Monbiot again to deliver a poignant critique of the way modern education defines intelligence and offering an expansive definition of intelligence, that if harnessed, might actually lead to a far more wise and sustainable human society.

Chris is a brilliant, insightful creator and storyteller. He understands the use and power of narrative better than almost anyone I’ve come across, and this, in our challenging times, is an indispensable talent. In one video after another, he has transformed my words into a visual story that resonates with millions of people. The viewing figures are astonishing, and they are all down his amazing ability to capture mood and moment with imagery and music. I could not recommend him highly enough.

Problem: Dr. Sailesh Rao, founder of Climate Healers, is a prominent vegan activist. He wanted to bring awareness to the knowledge contained in two World Wildlife Fund reports detailing the dramatic decline in wild animal populations over the past 40 years.

Problem: Rob from Rewilding Australia has been on the front lines of the devastation that invasive species wrought to Australia’s native species, and the catastrophic effect that had on the health of their ecosystems. Governments have been considering damaging alternatives but Rob’s research suggests that the reintroduction of Tazmanian devils to Australian mainland might be a natural solution to a problem that has been plaguing Australia since its inception.
Solution: We set out a course to mimic the wildly popular video, How Wolves Change Rivers, in an attempt to sway public opinion to consider a less invasive, natural solution to the environmental devastation that was caused by European foxes, cats, and rabbits – the reintroduction of Tazmanian devils to the Australian mainland.

Problem: Inspired by Charlie Chaplin’s famous speech, “The Great Dictator Returns“, Frant Gjata, writer and coach, updated his speech to fit with the issues of the 21st century. He wanted to bring that new vision to life using the power of video storytelling.
Solution: We took Frank’s original video and added moving imagery and emotive music to bring his speech to life in a fast-paced, riveting ride that asks us to look inward to solve many of the problems of the word. First watch the original and then compare to the final product.

Problem: Charles Eisenstein writes about many important topics, including the root source of many modern day issues. Illuminating these concepts with only the written word can be a difficult challenge.

Metrics: As of 11/10/18, the videos have been viewed over 3.6 million times.
