Awards Week 2012
The Brief
Staffordshire University asked Humanoid to provide video coverage of their Awards Week, including a highlights edit, individual interviews with the week’s honorary graduates and a Diary Room to record personal video messages for social media.
The Solution
We sent two crews: one to staff the Diary Room and the other to shoot interviews and capture proceedings in daily ceremonies. Diary Room messages were uploaded overnight, and edited highlights of the week were released on Staffs’ YouTube.
The Result
he Diary Room was consistently popular, attracting interest and traffic each day from graduates and well-wishers. Our annual Awards highlights are among the most popular of the University’s video releases and launched on the homepage of Staffs’ website.
This July, Humanoid returned to Trentham Gardens to cover Staffordshire University’s Awards Week 2012.
Working closely with the University’s press team, Humanoid’s two crews filmed interviews with high-profile honorary and noteworthy graduates while running the extremely popular “Big Brother”-style Diary Room, recording over a hundred triumphant personal messages of thanks, congratulations and celebration. The messages were published each day through the university’s social media outlets.
Having graduated from the same ceremony just a year before, Humanoid worked to capture the sense of excitement and jubilation for the next wave of Staffordshire alumni.
“It was a spectacular event, bringing thousands of students together with their friends and family for one special send-off!”
—Chris Gandy, Humanoid’s Creative Director
