Film series for student recruitment

Based on a successful tender, we conceived and produced a film series for Hochschule Darmstadt's Department of Social Sciences to attract prospective students.

It was important to make studying tangible as a center of everyday life: alongside the academic focus areas, the films also tell of the university's broad range of activities from sports to culture and the appeal of the Darmstadt region between city and nature.

Across five shooting days on campus, in the Orangerie, Buna Cafe, a bouldering gym and the city forest, we created a varied visual world, complemented by time-lapse photo sequences of Darmstadt landmarks.

Interviews with students from Applied Social Sciences, Information Law, RASUM and Business Psychology gave us authentic, grounded statements with personal perspectives on studying and career opportunities.

In total, we produced four main films for the degree programs, 14 reels and audio clips for broad campaign use across channels from the website to Instagram and LinkedIn.
