The Hotchkiss School

The Hotchkiss School needed videos to celebrate and promote the opening of its EFX Lab, a new 3,136-square-foot space for collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving across STEAM subjects. 590films partnered with Hotchkiss’s communications department to come up with a fitting look and design, one that incorporated composed dolly movements, fast-paced hand-held camerawork, two-camera interview setups and steadicam. We conducted numerous interviews with students and faculty across a variety of disciplines to create a “Thank You” video for donors, an introductory video to encourage the Hotchkiss community to use the new space, and a 30-second promotional video for social media.

590films continues to produce video content for Hotchkiss, including material for the admissions, communications and advancement departments. One of our most recent pieces followed a single class, the MacLeish Scholars, through a whole year.
