Purposeful Living.

Overview
This proposal is for the creation of a Vision Video that helps prospective families get to know the core values and features of WPL.
The videos will help to share with anyone who is looking through www.wplsf.com to learn more about the school and its multi-faceted approach to education. The video will showcase administrator/s, teacher/s, students, and parents who are all speaking to the shared goals and impact that this community is having on children. The desired impact will involve more than just academic results, but also include socio-emotional growth as well as a sense of belonging and community which is so vital for young people today.
Watching these videos will help to inspire a sense of connection and depth as we see the elements of the school day unfold and hear reflections by staff, students, and parents.
Additionally, photos will be captured and will also help to bolster the overall sense of community and connection at WPL.

PROJECT DETAILS
Goals
- Showcase the real work that is taking place at the K-3 campus (Moraga) as well as the 4-8 campus (Sloat)
- Share about the vision/mission of the school (administrator/s), the day-to-day impact of the school (teacher/s), and the felt experience of being an active part of the school community (students/parents)
- Generate excitement and curiosity about potentially joining the school community as either a prospective family with young kids, a teacher interested in joining the faculty, or even a donor who would like to support this work
Project Shooting Dates
The quote for this project is based on the following shooting days-- exact dates TBD
- One day for Interviews of key staff/students from both campuses
- One day for B-Roll footage captured at Moraga Campus
- One day for B-Roll footage captured at Sloat Campus
- One day for photo captures (can shoot at both campuses in one day)
My Commitment
- You get my personal passion and expertise on this project. In addition to my knowledge on the video production side of things, I also commit to be fully present and approachable in all my interactions in person and via email.
- I only take on projects that align with my core values and in telling your story I believe I am sharing a part of my own beliefs. As a former teacher and a follower of Jesus, I commit to accurately representing the entire journey from a unique perspective as an educator/filmmaker.
WHAT WE OFFER
Teacher Story Teller
With the continual rise of social media, storytelling is something that many filmmakers and production companies boast about. However, nobody understands the story of the classroom like a veteran teacher who has been daily committed to the struggle of making things work for all students. As a National Board Certified Teacher, I know that I can tell this story better than anybody else who also knows how to shoot, produce, and edit a film.
I excel in education-related filmmaking because I have such a personal understanding of the complexities of the classroom, school, and educational system as a whole.
Room 212 Productions began in the lively classroom on the second floor at Thurgood Marshall Academic High School where I brought my handycam video camera in to record students working collaboratively in groups and to use video as a resource for them to better understand the various dynamics of teamwork amongst their peers. Much like a football team studies film of their game, video was used in my classroom to analyze how we work together and the impact that our collective interactions had on individual learning.
In this same way, I believe that I can bring my knowledge, passion, and commitment to this project and achieve the goals that we've discussed for these videos.
Not only do I bring a wealth of experience in the classroom having taught for over 15 years, I also bring over 9 years of professional filmmaking experience where many individuals, companies, districts, and organizations have trusted me to capture and share their stories.

THE POWER OF VIDEO
Invest in your story
Everyone is keenly aware that in our constantly-changing culture, short-form stories in video format are incredibly helpful to say a lot in a short span of time. From scrolling Facebook posts, to double-tapping Instagram videos, and even to short-lived Snapchat stories-- video is an extremely valuable tool to showcase your message to the world.
Before reading any text, 60% of site visitors will watch a video if available. (Diode Digital)
With this in mind, I set out to produce videos that are not only visually appealing and engaging enough to watch the whole thing, but most importantly that spur the viewer to do something. To get involved. To ask questions. To wonder some more. To get to work.
Videos that I have produced for nationally-funded projects have been selected by the National Science Foundation to be viewed in world-wide video showcases and I understand that the return on investment for non-profit organizations and especially schools/districts is not measured in dollar amounts but rather in tangible improvements in student learning, joy, and future achievement.

Total Project Cost
$12,000
One Price for Everything
The proposals I create are one price. That way, there are no surprises or randomly increased costs. This cost will include all pre-production planning/correspondence, in-person production, and post-production editing/correspondence.
Final Deliverables
- The final deliverables of this project will be one vision video 3-6 minutes in length and 200 professionally captured/edited photos from both WPL campuses (100 from each).
- In addition, I would like to include a 30-60 second social-media-friendly edit of the video. This trailer video will help to drive traffic and awareness to the full length videos and will take one or two key lines along with the same powerful visuals that capture the essence of the message.
- The files will be available in up to 4K resolution and streamable for easy web viewing.
Next Steps
Let's discuss any questions you may have. From there, we can draft a contract and hopefully start shooting in September!
