Client: FSF FUTA (Foursquare Student Fellowship — Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria)

Project: Word Conference - An annual gathering of students for a life-changing and impactful Christian meeting, in Akure, Nigeria.

Deliverables: Full Official Trailer Video, Documentary Style

Tools Used: Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro

Word Conference began 20 years ago, and since then it had been a program that students had always anticipated. It was an annual program, so in lieu of that, it was very unique. Ministers of God usually flew in from different parts of the country to minister at this program.

This year being the 20th anniversary, a form of publicity to showcase the rich history of this program was needed, and I brought the solution of a video showcasing the history of the program and its authenticity.

The program began about 20 years ago, and at the time, there was no proper documentation of the events and all of the happenings.

So getting information, pictures, and videos for the edit I was to work on was the main issue. It was a video to show the history, and make it known that the program had lasted for years, and this was the 20th Year Anniversary.

Deep Search into History: I did a deep search into the history of the program myself. I asked questions from people around, and people who had a knowledge about the beginning of the programme.

Gathering Evidence: I went through the socials of the fellowship, to the very end, over a thousand posts, gathering all the scattered resources like a detective gathering evidence.

The Actual Video Edit: I collated them and began the actual video edit using Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro, combining all of the information I had gathered into a 60-second video carrying rich history.

A Connected Generation: A new generation was now aware and connected back to its root and beginning.

Public Premiere: It was played publicly to over 200 seating audience with cheering and applause at the end.

Strong Online Engagement: The video gathered a lot of views with numerous online views, sparking interest in the hearts of the viewers.
