BRIC Architecture, Inc. is a woman-owned firm specializing in public school design “that empowers learners to change the world.” Community service is an important part of BRIC’s mission, and the firm recently partnered with Girls Build to host a series of hands-on classes for young girls who wanted to learn the basics of building design. In telling this story, we showed the BRIC team working shoulder to shoulder alongside the future designers, sharing knowledge and high fives. The result: an inspiring story about one generation of women paving the way for the next generation to follow.

Music is such an important part of our lives, but not all children have equal access to learning an instrument. That's when Ethos Music Center in Portland comes to the rescue. Wave One Films produced this short fundraising film in 2013, highlighting Lara Evans and the 20 Voices Concert, to raise money and awareness for Ethos. Lara currently works for Knitting Factory Management in NYC.

When leaders from the Pasadena Independent School District in Texas decided to build a new high school dedicated to career technical education (CTE), they told the designers from the Texas Studio of IBI Group that they wanted this building to look like a place that honored the dignity of work.

In producing this video case study for the Texas Studio of IBI Group, Wave One Films spent a week in Pasadena, Texas. While there, our team interviewed school staff and district officials to learn what they wanted to see in the new building. We also interviewed the designers to better understand their design philosophy as it related to this project. We filmed CTE classes to show how students used the building. And we worked with a drone team to capture dramatic footage of interior and exterior design elements.

The completed video told a story about the role educational design plays in creating a space that meets the need of a new generation of learners.

Wave One Films’ scope of services for this project included research, logistics, story planning, on-camera interviewing, filming, director of drone photography, story production, editing, motion graphics and digital delivery.
