University of Huddersfield - Graduation
A series of celebratory videos to mark the University of Huddersfield's graduation ceremonies and to promote the alumni network.
Inspiring tomorrow's professionals
Five years later, we are currently in production for an updated version of the video (intended for Summer 2020 graduation ceremonies), however unfortunately production was halted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This updated version required us to travel around the country and capture hero shots of some notable alumni from a range of disciplines and industries. We also updated our library footage to reflect some of the new construction that has taken place on campus and we composed a new piece of music to reflect the slightly different tone that we wanted to convey with the new video. Here are a selection of still from this new project that is currently in production.
In 2015 we were invited to tender to produce a video for the University of Huddersfield’s alumni team which was to be played during their November and July graduation ceremonies. The brief was to create an engaging and uplifting film sequence which celebrates the student journey and inspires graduates to fulfil their potential after graduation. Fortunately we were successful with our proposal. The video required us to capture footage of one graduation ceremonies in progress along with some interviews and hero shots featuring notable alumni. As long-time suppliers of the University of Huddersfield we were able to utilise our existing library of cutaway footage including aerial videography showcasing the university campus. Finally we composed and produced the bespoke uplifting music for this project in-house based on the client’s specific requirements.
Further to the main updated hero content, we were asked to produce some social videos using the footage we had collected to support video messages from a select group of alumni and university staff. The videos would be shared with the cohort who were supposed to be graduating in summer 2020. This version also includes some of the recently captured footage.
The client required us to liaise directly with the notable alumni and staff to advise them on best practice when recording themselves addressing camera and remote file delivery. As part of this service, we also developed a video resource and accompanying checklist to ensure the user-generated content would be suitable for the final render.
Kind Words
“Fat Panda are great to work with; professional, creative and accommodating.”
From initial brief to finished product, they go above and beyond. I’m really pleased with the videos they’ve created for me.
