Background

Make sure to check out the [solidcore] Instagram channel to get an idea of their social media video style.

Objectives

If you don't already know, [solidcore] workouts are 50 minutes of full-body strength training on a pilates-inspired reformer, and they're truly an immersive experience: held in a dimly-lit room, under blue lights, fueled by energizing music, and driven by an experienced coach who provides everyone with personalized instruction. One of the pillars of [solidcore] is community, and to wrap up the year, the [solidcore] team wants to post a video celebrating all the fun things that have happened in the [solidcore] community throughout 2023, keeping their clients as the focus - and to be clear here, that means all the awesome people that come into [solidcore] studios daily to sweat and shake their way through a [solidcore] workout.


The goal of this project is to make [solidcore] clients feel loved and celebrated by editing together a video using the below linked assets that will be posted by [solidcore] to celebrate the end of the year. The video should be fun and engaging, maintaining [solidcore]'s premium look and feel, while also feeling very organic to the Instagram platform. This should feel like a broad review / montage, so you should focus on short clips when using the photos and videos that [solidcore] is providing. Think about some ways that you can help to elevate your video with creative motion graphics and text, or interesting and dynamic transitions, while always keeping the focus on the organic nature of the photos and videos. While you should include upbeat music, there will not be any voiceover. On-screen text can be used if it follows [solidcore]'s brand guidelines.


In the Assets link, you'll find a couple subfolders. The subfolder labelled "include" must be highlighted in your video in some way, while the subfolder labelled "extras" are just additional fun moments that could be nice to incorporate in order to help punctuate the video, but they're not required. 


For your pitch, submit a short sample video that illustrates how you'd approach the full :30 deliverable. Check out more information in the Background, and for any questions or other project updates, check out the Project Forum.
