This year, the show takes on a different dynamic and will chronicle the stories of two U. S. Army All-American quarterbacks from the East and West Coast. The show will feature University of Pittsburgh commit Chad Voytik (Cleveland, TN // Cleveland Blue Raiders) and future Washington Husky, Cyler Miles (Centennial, CO // J.K. Mullen Mustangs).

The show will premiere on the Versus Network in early November. Throughout the six-episode season, viewers will get an all-access glimpse into the lives of two of the nation’s best signal callers. We’re excited for you to join us as we document the on- and off-field trials and tribulations of each player’s senior season, as they make their way down the road destined for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on January 7, 2011 in San Antonio, TX.

Cinematographer Bud Hayman set out to compose a total of twenty 30-second spots, each showcasing Wilsons’ latest selection of fashion leather.

Along with the spots, the team produced a behind-the-scenes video of the entire shoot which will ultimately be distributed through social media and other channels. From the AIC team, Fred Segro worked on set producing the behind-the-scenes video and also ran the edit back in our studios. Brett Zuckerman handled color correction, and Enrique Mendoza served as principal on the project.

Check out the team’s finished product here:

For this project, we chose to use kinetic typography, along with heavily manipulated still imagery, in order to create a fun video that would fit the unique high school. The video premiered at the school’s 2011 CHAD Annual Gala Champagne Breakfast at the Independence Seaport Museum last Friday. You can view the completed video below.

We followed students at Bentley University in Waltham, MA, and Villanova University in Villanova, PA, so that prospective students at each school could truly experience “A Day in the Life” of an undergraduate or graduate student. We would like to thank Molly Sloan, Marissa Weber, Diepiriye Anga and Charlie Shannon for their willingness to let us enter their lives for a day. To view the final videos for each shoot, see below:

The actual trip to Panama actually exceeded all of our hopes, not least because of the wonderful people, both American and Panamanian, whom we came in contact with during our time there.

Brett also got to tag along on a special side trip to a remote village where Villanova is working with a Peace Corp volunteer to bring reliable emergency cellular service to the area. This trip involved a lengthy river ride in an actual dugout canoe, albeit one fitted with an outboard motor.

All in all, an incredible shooting experience, and one we’ll cherish for years to come.
