UNLESS U Got Talent
Unless U Got Talent 2026 was a new endeavor between old friends. We’ve worked with Unless U for years, creating over a dozen films together along the way. This year, we we wanted to try something new. In addition to filming short pieces to kick off the event and introduce contestants throughout the night, we created a narrative film to uniquely spread the news about the transformative experience of Unless U to current and future students and parents!
Hype Intro
This 60-second hype video set the energy, tone, and anticipation for the whole night! We mixed fun motion graphics with BTS footage to introduce the contestants and kick-off the biggest, baddest, talent show of the century.
Contestant Spotlights
We crafted eight contestant introductions to play before they hit the stage. Each one helps the audience get a special feel for personality of the contestant before they perform.
Something So Wonderful
We partnered with Unless U and their students to create a film to tell the story of the transformative experience of attending Unless U, and how that experience can cast a vision of hope for parents with young kids wondering over an uncertain future. This film served as the anchor for the night and launching pad for the community.
We had a great time working with Unless U students, parents, and staff filming this project to create something special that will last.
