In 2012, the DDD Foundation won our nonprofit contest and received a $50,000 for free. Fast forward a little over 10 years, and they hired us to create a new video for them. The DDD Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to offering accessible, comprehensive dental treatment to patients with developmental disabilities, who often are unable to receive care anywhere else. They are the only clinic of this kind in the whole state. And they’re amazing. The staff at the DDD is kind, passionate, fun, and grounded. We were excited to work with them again to show the world the incredible work that they do every day. We planned 2 shoot days at the DDD where we would capture b-roll and interviews with patients, staff, and family members.
During the shoot days, it was especially important for the crew to work quickly and mindfully to make sure we didn’t interrupt the care the patients were receiving. During the edit process, we discovered we had plenty of footage to make several videos for the DDD rather than the original one that was planned. Instead we created one main fundraising video that focused on the heart of the DDD and all that they do for the population that they serve, one video focused on what new patients can expect during a visit, one video that walks patients through the sedation process, one video addressing concerns with the sedation process, and one video that explores what to expect at a consultation visit. The video above is their main fundraising video, but you can check out many of the other videos on the DDD website here. We were thrilled to have the DDD Foundation as repeat clients, and we did our best to help advance their mission with the skills that we have.
