EA - First Day 2022
From the Nominator
"The first day of school is filled with excitement and fun for all ages at The Episcopal Academy. This year, it was a soggy start as our middle and upper school students returned. But we didn't let a little rain dampen the feel and videography of our back to school video. We embraced it, thanks to some help from one of our talented student singers.
This piece was shot on an iPhone 13 and edited in Final Cut Pro. We incorporated some poignant sound from our head of school during his opening remarks to students as an added touch. The EA First Day video has evolved into a community favorite and is also shared by the admissions department for prospective students and their families. Alumni love it too! The impact was added excitement, and positive feelings for the school, as the school year got underway."
