The Challenge

How do you celebrate world-class impact without sounding like you’re bragging?
Calvary Christian High School was stepping into its 25th year with more achievements than most schools see in a lifetime. But their culture is humble. Their leadership doesn’t self-promote. And listing accomplishments outright would feel off-brand. They needed a way to honor their history, inspire future families, and stay grounded in their values.

‍

The Opportunity

We reframed the anniversary as a milestone worth documenting, not a highlight reel worth boasting about. That opened the door for a fresh structure: an outside “announcer-style” voice to articulate the scale of the accomplishments, paired with Principal Kilgore’s genuine, steady perspective. It let us say the big things without Calvary having to say them directly.

Creative Approach

A Two-Voice Narrative
We paired an external narrator with the staff’s voice to balance humility with clarity.

Original Score and Sound Design
Every beat was scored from scratch to move the viewer through emotional shifts with intention.

Unifying 25 Years of Footage
We color-matched, cleaned, and treated decades of archival clips so the story feels seamless and cinematic.

Scriptwriting for Clarity and Impact
We refined multiple drafts with the school to craft a tight script full of strong sound bites and meaningful transitions.
