Your Second Home

Though an ambitious project even by our own standards, a musical has been on our bucket list for a long time. We needed to create something that would appeal to the kids without feeling like it tried too hard. The entire project took two weeks from suggestion of a musical to the moment the video landed on Meg Colafella’s (Director of Marketing and Communication) desk. We wrote and recorded all the music, and all the actors are real WRA students and faculty.

“The video is great. My son watched it six times and then asked me where the application was so he could start working on it. It was so much fun to watch and to watch him keep replaying it. He would pause and ask me a question about the school. I loved the last scene because it brought back a lot of memories of hanging out on campus.””

We make videos for schools. Though designed to represent culture, they also create culture. Our project with the St. Bernard’s School of New York is a wonderful example of this.

Since the dawn of The Film Guys have we said that it would be valuable to document our process, if anything to remember this unusual phase of life. Normally there just aren’t enough hands to make it happen, but in the Spring of 2024, the moment was ripe.

To give kids a big team project to work on that produces a final product that lasts forever is wonderfully rewarding for everybody involved.

There are other schools that host intensive periods, often called J-terms. At the outset of this Pingry project, we are now officially open to this model of collaboration.

When marketing to German families, we were advised to stick to the facts and leave emotion out of the equation. That’s exactly what we did. Sort of.

We typically have three days to come up with the full, completed script of a video that will meet the commandments. Three days, otherwise we make Alesi’s job much harder. Each day we take for writing takes one day from her production planning. The relationship has a perfect pressurised balance. Pressurised, indeed, because each day I don’t deliver a script is added pressure to the creative process that is already drowning in expectation.

The proof is in the pudding as they say. As of now, enquiries and applications are up 129% and 182% respectively as compared to the previous year. Video is simply a medium. For most, it does little. For those who use it right, it will make all the difference. We’re in the business of results. If you’re going to hire a film crew, you better hope to see return on your investment.

3 Timezones, 2 Film Guys, 1 Virtual Graduation
Robert

From a production perspective, this project was beyond extraordinary. Having to coordinate so many people, describe to them how to film, how to get good sound and how to send it to us all the while not personally knowing any of the senior class and doing it between three totally different timezones was, as the cliche has now come and gone, an “unprecedented circumstance”.

Robert

I’m a filmmaker, so when I describe the things I deem fun I will quickly gravitate towards creative pursuits that involve the combination of moving images and sound. It took me a lot of years to realize that others weren’t as pumped about this as I am. Consider the fact that you’re putting educators in front of the camera to talk about pedagogy. Big surprise they’re buzzing about it, it’s literally their job. You WANT teachers who dig pedagogy, you just need to separate that from how you market to 13 year-olds.

Everybody already knows that Salisbury is an athletic powerhouse, but what they don’t know is that it raises boys to become truly thoughtful, nice and emotionally available men. The challenge is that these points are difficult to articulate without sounding cliché or making big, hard-to-substantiate claims, so we had to figure out how to get around this.

Q&A with Omer the Admissions Guy
Robert

There’s a reason why companies hire spokespeople. It’s difficult to connect to the buildings or the history of a place, but a face and a person is universal. Somebody to latch on to for your mental associations is very valuable. Boarding schools tend to both literally and figuratively put up high walls, despite the fact that the funnel for families interested residential schools is shrinking. I think we should be doing everything we can to make the admissions experience as welcoming and familiar as possible.

The ladies lit up with excitement and immediately started imagining it. I looked across the table to our producer, Alesi, and quietly apologised. A musical would be a substantial (near impossible) task given the circumstances: we had 16 days (to present a final product), we were a two person team, neither of us had ever done a musical and neither of us are musicians. Meg, Sarah and Rose did have reservations about how realistic a musical would be, but they were so enamored with the idea that they were willing to take the plunge and trust that we could do it. We do like challenges.
