Stephen Hayes: Art Is a Language
From the Nominator
As our team prepared for the launch of the new Duke Magazine website, we began brainstorming ideas for multimedia content. We decided to work with our in-house videographer to create a short documentary for each quarterly issue of the magazine. For our first video, we chose to profile Stephen Hayes, a Duke sculpture professor. While the written piece highlights Stephen’s work, the video focuses more on the artist as an individual. Together, the written story and video tell a holistic, empathetic story of a Duke professor.
From the Judges
It was a great video. Very emotional and relatable with a neat, compelling story and message! The subject was the perfect person to profile. The music adds good emotion. Nice use of archival photos, along with current stills mixed with video.
