From the Nominator
This is the University of Utah's inaugural "State of the Arts Address," given by John W. Scheib, associate vice president for the arts (and dean of the College of Fine Arts), who details arts impact on the university by showcasing what offerings are available to students, and how they can access them for free or deeply discounted prices. It also underpins the ways arts research is inspiring new, creative research across our entire institution.
From the Judges
This video covers a lot of ground, but with a very warm, charismatic spokesperson, smart use of archival footage, and after effects that add the right visual "pop" without being gimmicky or gratuitous, we felt this video was effective. Congratulations on a creatively conceived, well-produced piece.
