Stanford Online High Video goes viral

Madnomad Films — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:01:12 +0000

After the release of our first Stanford video in fall, the video went viral among the field of education. Our promotional videos inspire because they’re not so promotional. On our first meeting with Stanford, and with any clients, we make it clear, we’re not in the business of making videos that will look like what their competitors are doing. You’ve heard that before and clients have heard that before, yet many clients, and many more vendors just accept the status quo. We recently lost a deal because the client told us they were no different from their competition and they didn’t want to stand out. We insisted about our approach, but to no avail.

To come back to the Stanford video, it ended up getting noticed at Virgin America. They were so enthusiastic about the program (or at least about the portrait we made of it), they decided to add to their In-Flight program, which thousands of passangers just have to watch while waiting for time to pass by in the air. It is a sure win for the school!

Stanford Online High School is the most innovative form of education for High Schoolers. The students have live classes via Skype with university teachers so they each can progress at their own pace, and study subjects they are passionate about. This is the education of the future. But where Stanford High School really differentiate itself is in its body of students: They are all avid learners and share this educational experience together with other students who have the same passion for learning.

Duration: 3’20″

Alemany Farm is located on the south side of Bernal Heights in San Francisco. It is the largest food production site in the city. This sustainable urban farm is completely volunteer run and the work is done by whoever shows up on the bi-weekly word days. It donates 1/2 of its food production to families of the Alemany housing project with which they share their eastern fence. The farm is a tool to educate anyone interested in organic food production, and they run many workshops. It has been running since 1995, under the prior caretakers SLUG, and now since 2005 with Friends of Alemany Farm. The video was made to help them raise funds and apply for grants. Please support them, so they can continue.

Transparent House

Transparent House is part of the new generation of Creative Studios. Their focus is 3D modeling, but with an increasing human aspect to it. They are expanding with new talents to build content that makes the 3D invisible. So invisible that most of their clients don’t realize how much 3D work was put into it. So they asked us to create a video that tells the short story of their team, the secret of their success. We are also partnering with them to create more content.

The WRIGHT Institute is a unique university located near UC Berkeley. They teach a Psychologya Master and Doctorate Program renowned around the country for its hands-on approach. From the start of the 1st years, students are placed into local agencies, jails, schools, health clinics and begin practicing alongside experienced clinical psychologists, and professors. The institute has a social agenda where all the patients the students follow are populations that would never have access to such therapy otherwise, even though they might be the ones who need it the most. Here is a short film we produced for them in the Madnomad Films style: a direct look at the program from the perspective of those who study and teach there. It shows what the Institute really is.

This is part of a series we produced for John Avalos who is running for Mayor in San Francisco. John is a very sincere person, and that surprised us for a politician. But after a few other videos, we got to know him and understood that the documentary form was the right approach to make a video about him for his campaign.

Music by Gustavo Santaolalla: Apertura. Black & White Title Picture by Steve Rhodes

JOHN AVALOS has been endorsed by a landslide number of large local organizations in San Francisco. Read about their endorsement to understand why he is the right candidate to lead San Francisco today.

He has also received the support of TOM AMMIANO, Aron Peskin, Davis Campos, Eric Mar, Ross Mirkirami. He was chair of the budget committee for 2 years and managed to balance the budget to keep vital services. The supervisors recognized his excellent handling of the budget, the negotiations, and his commitment to communities in San Francisco.
