UC Academic Internship Program Student Premieres Video on Fountain Square
On October 3, 2013, the
Im a Better Person for It
video produced by University of Cincinnati Academic Internship Program student Neal Patrick premiered on Fountain Squares LED (light-emitting diode) jumbo-tron.
Patrick, a psychology student in UC's McMicken College of Arts & Sciences, was selected as Social Venture Partners (SVP) summer UC student intern and Charitable Words Scholar.
Patrick was challenged to learn and understand the story of SVP and then tell SVPs story in a creative and visual way. His goal was to create a video that if shown on the jumbo-tron and the narrative could not be heard, the images themselves would be so compelling that viewers would be motivated to learn more about SVP as an organization.
Patrick had the opportunity to collaborate with SVP Partners Bruce Hager, Tom Callinan and Patrick Points to interview SVP partners, photograph activities at the various SVP nonprofit organizations, draft a storyboard, and create graphics to produce a 2:45 minute video for Social Venture Partners
open enrollment for new partners.
Patrick hopes that this video will get SVPs message out to the community and get more people involved. I am satisfied with the outcome of this video, and I hope it helps to bring in many new partners to the organization.
UCs Academic Internship Program, allowed Patrick to learn about a field of interest through observation and direct participation. He is grateful for the opportunity to work alongside a diverse group of professionals who bring a positive energy to the Cincinnati community.
