Here’s Where Your Gift Goes

The night before we were to meet with Kim Clark, the president of BYU-Idaho, we still had no idea about the concept for the video were were there to sell him on. I was completely out of ideas. To make matters worse, I was feeling a bit sick. After touring the campus desperately hoping for inspiration, I decided to go back to the hotel and lay down to rest. That’s when I remembered another video I had seen that visually wrote out stories that you wouldn’t otherwise know just by looking at them. I thought it could work. I just didn’t realize how well it would work. This piece turned out stunningly beautiful thanks to the expert talents of Kelly Mecham and Ben Unguren.
