QUT Law faculty course promo videos
Queensland University of Technology have been building a collection of course promo videos for the Faculty of Law. It’s a bit of a mixed bag — great production values, but I feel that some of them could be shorter, or broken into multiple clips. I would probably also get rid of the 5 sec “ident” at the start — it just gets in the way. Nice motion graphics. Interesting use of “props” (their “real” word block) to assist talent in relaxing and interacting during the shoot.
