“I really enjoyed working with you on this video. You did a remarkable job of capturing, selecting and most of all understanding the heart of this story. I was very impressed. And now people know a little more about all the good that is going on in Atlanta–it gives us all hope.”


– Gary Dixon, President of Random Acts of Kindness Foundation and Foundation for a Better Life.

Video empowers audience with social emotional learning stories

This video captures a movement occurring across America’s educational landscape. It almost didn’t happen in a timely manner.   Michael Conti Video Productions became contacted by Random Acts of Kindness Foundation.  The end-result of the 5 minute video came from 10 hours of video captured of both students, administrators, teachers and parents from the Atlanta Public Schools.  We visited over two shoots into inner city schools there.  Those videos were then transcribed professionally to help with narrowing the video editing process by the Boulder Video Editor, Michael Conti.

The stories in the video were authentically captured in classrooms or wherever there was room for the 2-person crew to set up.  We had natural lighting and practical florescent lighting along with a well-placed mic for the majority of the interviews caught with Canon XF100.  B-roll was captured with a Canon 6D.

Besides color correction and audio sweetening by our support contractors, the magic happened again when we went into Coupe Studios, a local Boulder award-winning recording studio, to do the final mix after receiving an original score by Los Angeles based composer Chris Piorkowski.

Conclusion

The end result is a video that moves people.  Let’s us know otherwise.

Since the Atlanta Public Schools hadn’t yet complied all the data on the metrics of the one year test implementation of SEL into some of their schools.  What we captured on the video became the anecdotal research results.  They were impressed with what they heard and saw!
