  • Rocket launches at Macquarie Uni

    Worthy content, but unfortunately the impact is lost through the long, boring intro — we want to see the rockets taking off in full resolution!

  • Higher Ed course pages – examples

    collegewebeditor.com recently published a list of 5 good examples of US university course pages (or “academic program” pages). Worth having a look at for inspiration, and to see how they integrate (or don’t) video testimonials.

  • Student profile videos from UniSA

    Bog standard collection of student and graduate profile videos from the University of South Australia. Lots of slider use! But it’s a shame that not much time was spent on the cut-aways — they’re pretty boring! And for the journalism one — poor graduate is assembling name badges?

  • RMIT academic profile videos

    Nice. Following “DSLR” portrait videos, interesting cut aways, narrated by the person profiled.

  • University of Sydney Business School industry placement program

    The University of Sydney has an interesting effects-driven video to promote their industry placement program for business students. Interesting effects work, with “colour” being “painted” in — looks like it would have taken heaps of shot planning so the post works out.

  • Vietnam environment project

    Interesting to compare RMIT’s series with the stuff we produced for the Go Global Ukraine project. Similar kind of treatment, nice shots, good sound!

  • Melbourne Uni business scholarships video

    Giving bright minds a brilliant future. Stories of students who have received a scholarship to study business at Melbourne University. Not sure what the purpose of these videos are, or the target audience — potential sponsors?

  • Shaping History, Shaping Tomorrow – Keio University

    New campaign video for Keio University, made by the guy to did the Move. Eat. Learn. films for STA travel. Impressive shots, but I’m not sure if it says anything.

  • Get Going – Drexel University

    Wizzy HTML(?) site from Drexel University with video and audio, an example of story publishing online?
