Video


Video is a powerful storytelling medium. At CC, we use it to highlight the student experience, our beautiful campus, and the rhythm of the Block Plan. We create upwards of 60 videos per year. You can check them out on the CC YouTube channel!

Requesting Video Production Services

Please read through the guidelines below.

Filmmaking Best Practices
  • Shorter is better. We advise a video to be in the 1-3 minute range. If you don't think your story can be told in that range of time, reconsider using video.
  • Show, don't tell. Film is a visual medium, so your story needs to translate visually. Ask yourself, "Why should my audience watch this story instead of reading it? What is it about this story that can only be communicated through video?"
Good things to know
  • The Office of Communications & Marketing only creates edited promo-style videos. We do not handle live-streaming or recording events for archival purposes.
  • We know video storytelling, so please include us early in the brainstorming phase to make sure all bases are being covered.
  • If we cannot handle a project due to timeline issues, we will give project input and recommend an external production person or company.
The video production timeline
  1. Project proposal is initiated (please allow up to 6 weeks for a full video production; 2 weeks is the absolute minimum for a simple, no-frills video project)
