Cottage Creative

Cottage Creative was hired by the University of Maryland Philip Merrill College of Journalism to create a 60-second promotional video about the institution. The video was meant to aid in storytelling, recruitment, and fundraising efforts. The team at Cottage Creative, which consisted of 2-5 employees, began with creative planning and storyboarding, followed by arranging a shoot schedule over multiple days in different locations. They also collaborated on the script before taking over all post-production. The final deliverables were two versions of the promotional video, one with captions and one without. The client praised the exceptional quality of the videos.

For the University of Maryland College of Information Studies, Cottage Creative was tasked with creating four marketing videos for their undergraduate programs. The videos were for the Information Studies major (in English and Spanish), and for the Technology & Information Design major and Social Data Science major. The team filmed interviews and b-roll footage over several days. The final deliverables were the finished videos, ready for upload to YouTube. The Spanish video also included a translated transcript. The client appreciated the close geographic location, cultural fit, and value for cost provided by Cottage Creative.

In a project for a hospitality and leisure company, Cottage Creative was hired to produce a series of four videos, each approximately four minutes long. The videos were meant to enhance in-person events through storytelling, with each video featuring a different individual's personal story and their connection to the unique foods of their home country. The videos included direct-to-camera interviews and animated graphics. The deliverables included the four videos with graphics, music, and sound design, as well as versions without music for use in promotional needs on social media. The client praised Cottage Creative for their dependability, flexibility, and creativity.
