2023 was an amazing year for 5 Tool Productions, all thanks to YOU! Seriously, the videos and events we partnered to create in 2023 were some of the most challenging but rewarding content we have done! Our team cannot thank you enough for allowing us to help bring your vision to light.
This year, our team worked on…
There were so many great projects we worked on this year with so many great people! But here are a few that stuck out to us.
Produced a 16 hour broadcast hosted by NFL RedZone’s Scott Hanson
For Syracuse University’s day of giving, an event they call “Boost the ‘Cuse”, our team had the chance to produce 16 different live shows. Each hour was a block of content featuring everything from live interviews to live hits from around campus to pre-existing video content. Syracuse Alum and host of NFL RedZone Scott Hanson hosted all 16 broadcasts!
Honored as 2023 “Game Changers”
Each year, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation selects a group of people to be a part of what they call their “Game Changers” – extraordinary individuals and organizations whose efforts help move JAF’s mission forward. They honor this group of Game Changers at their Gala each year with a video that we help them put together. This year, the 5 Tool Productions team was chosen as one of JAF’s 2023 Game Changers, which meant that we had the opportunity to put together the Game Changers video, as well as be featured in it!
Created top to bottom branding & content for a Giving Tuesday campaign
For this year’s #TuftsGivingTuesday, we worked on an entire cohesive campaign of content. Our team created a specific TGT graphics package and branding identity that we used as a backdrop for a media day shoot, to create posters for around campus in our promo video, and as graphics for teams to post. From the media day shoot came over 30 pieces of video content and a multitude of photos that teams, clubs, and organizations could then distribute via their own channels, along with 3 additional overarching videos. To introduce the entire campaign, we produced a scripted video voiced and written by a Tufts student. Our team had a hand in each step of the Giving Tuesday content creation process!
Supported an event with a full AV set up complete with staging in Nashville
Our team traveled to Nashville, Tennessee for Model N’s Rainmaker 23 event. For this project, we took care of all things production for the main stage. We did lots of work in pre-production, including creating speaker intro videos to play in the room, but what made this event stand out was the work that we did on the physical set up of the event alongside our friends at The Castle Group. This included bringing in a stage, a branded backdrop, and projection screens. Our team also handled the production when it came to audio, lighting, stage management, recording, video playback, captions and more.
Producing 6 Simultaneous Live Streams in Dallas
For this year’s Spring 2023 ONUG Conference, the team jetted off to Dallas, Texas! This conference isn’t too different from others we work: we live stream the main stage events over the course of the day. But what makes this event stand out is that we typically have another 4 or 5 live streams going at the same time!
Highlighted impact across a University by telling stories from 7 different schools
Video storytelling is our bread and butter, so when Tufts University approached us about campus wide impact stories we were ecstatic! We were able to highlight a handful of students from all different schools within Tufts, such as as the dental school and the veterinary school. That’s what made this project stand out as a highlight – we had the chance to tell stories of impact from all different areas on campus.
Created a plethora of content by hosting media days for Universities and organizations
This year, we had the chance to work on a few different media days. Not only did we host media days for schools like Emerson College and Boston University, but we also hosted media days for organizations like the Joe Andruzzi Foundation and Tighe Logistics. When you look at all of these media days together, we produced a LOT of content for each of these different entities! From photos, to hype videos, to 360 booth videos, we handed over a lot of content to each of these clients to use for their newest campaign or a website refresh.
