“Hearts for Haiti” – A Quirky Red Cross Concept Video

Greensboro, NC

I LOVE two things…ALOT.

#1. Being able to step into a new creative zone and do things I haven’t tried before.

#2. Giving back.

So, naturally, when Michelle Kidd of Vida Events called and said we were the only studio in North Carolina capable of pulling off a concept video like this, we immediately started chomping at the bit. The idea came from Becki Dickinson, a talented photographer in Greensboro, NC. You can learn more about her cause HERE. We spent 2 fun filled days with some high profile leaders in Greensboro, including the mayor and Sheriff BJ Barnes, as well as the police dept and fire dept. The real fun was had with the rest of the community, including business owners and families.

Here’s the skinny:

We got together with the Red Cross, City of Greensboro gov’t officials, and members of the community to create a fun, silly yet impactful video on getting more involved outside of the little world that we all live in. Most of us have bad days from time to time. But those bad days are nothing compared to the days being lived by the displaced people of Haiti. The purpose of this video is to illustrate that joy, and GIVING of yourself and your time is contagious (as illustrated by the passing of the “hearts”. It can start in your own community and spread to other parts of the world.

If you would like to get more involved in positively impacting the suffering families in Haiti, contact your local American Red Cross or visit http://www.americanredcross.org

Hope you enjoy! If you live in Greensboro, and want to directly support this cause and have a great time, you NEED to attend Becki Dickinson’s American Red Cross Benefit Dinner with live music and 100% of the proceeds supporting the disaster relief effort in Haiti.
