Get The Gringo TV Commercials

Icon Films released Get the Gringo in 2102, and we produced a series of TV commercials for the release.

All the spots were adapted from US and UK TV spots, but we had to remake all the graphics as well as doing all the usual re-purposing.

The Sapphires Vox Pop TVC

This 30″ commercial for The Sapphires features cinema-goers vox pops as they leave the film. We didn’t have to work too hard to get really good comments from the audience, they loved the film and were keen to talk about it.

UTS Undergrads Master

UTS: Future Undergraduate

This video is part of a series that we produced for UTS for the launch of their new website. We interviewed past and current students to get their opinion on what they got out of studying at UTS and what that experience was like. We used a combination of live action, and time lapse to produce a texture the makes the film more visually interesting.

UTS: Future Students Video

University of Technology, Sydney: Future Students

The Content Agency first worked with UTS around 2 years ago, reviewing online video content throughout their website , and producing a strategy for dealing with online video in the future. We were delighted to then be asked to produce a series of online videos for the launch of the new website. The videos were aimed at different cohorts of the higher education market to bring to life what UTS is like, and why it is the right choice. We interviewed current students and past students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, to find out what make UTS different and what they got out of studying there.

The resulting films give prospective students a positive feel for what the university is look. It allows them to see UTS as vibrant and exciting and full of opportunities. It allows the university to make an emotional connection with its audience…rather than telling prospective students that UTS is the best choice, we show them.

The videos are shot using a variety of techniques including time-lapse cameras on sliders, as well as video, to create a textured and visually interesting film.

University of Newcastle: Managing the Workload

One of the major obstacles for kids who are thinking about going to University, especially if they come from families where they are the first to go to university, is whether they will be able to handle the workload. Most students, on top of full-time study, have a part-time job plus travel to and from college and time to socialise to fit into their schedule. The University of Newcastle wanted to show prospective students that it is manageable, and that there is support available if they need it.

We suggested a video that doesn’t take itself too seriously as the best way to get the message across. Justine, one of the Universities Student Ambassadors, does a very good job of being honest while letting her sense of fun shine through.

The University of Newcastle: Kristy’s Story

Kristy is studying a Master of Public Health at the University of Newcastle, through GradSchool.

In this film she talks about how she fits post-graduate study into her life and what she gets out of it. The video appears on the webpage of the GradSchool Master of Public Health, and answers prospective students most common questions, while also leaving them with an idea of the opportunities a masters will open to them. The story is aspirational.

This film is part of an on-going campaign of online video content that The Content Agency has been producing for GradSchool. The campaign has been highly successful in increasing the number of prospective students who don’t don’t bounce of the page, but actually take the next step and register.
