Carnegie Mellon University:

125th Anniversary

Client: Terranova Advising

For 125 years, Carnegie Mellon University has been achieving what was never thought possible. In partnership with Terranova Advising, we were responsible for the production of the university’s 125th anniversary anthem video, celebrating over a century of groundbreaking science, arts, culture, and education.

Driven by the tagline “The Power of Possibilities,” we set out across campus and found unique people, processes, expressions, and innovations that Carnegie Mellon University incubates. A comprehensive pre-production window guided us as we cast and shot scenes that accurately and artfully represent the university’s continued investment in their many storied programs.

From arts to architecture, neuroscience to nanotechnology, or engineering to entrepreneurship, when Tartans put their hearts in the work, anything is possible…and we were there, and ready to capture it all!
