50 Story Salute

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Memorial Day becoming a federal holiday, Ancestry wanted to honor those who sacrificed their lives to secure our freedom.

The Ask

Zeno Group hired Schofield's Flowers to produce the short film in 3 weeks, providing creative, production and post-production support. We shot the interviews over zoom the first week of May and worked around the clock to deliver the film two weeks later. Drew Umland did a tremendous job on the graphic sequences, creating a beautiful collage that truly paid tribute to our fallen heroes. In addition to managing the production and post-production, I also ensured all the content was properly licensed.
