COMMERCIAL MAKING

The different groups will make a 30 seconds to a minute long commercial based on the services and product of the company. This customizable challenge can be delivered to groups of all sizes. Each team is instructed to produce the best commercial possible, incorporating themes related to your company or cause. Various industry skill sets are taught and participants must meet various challenges to earn vital resources such as costuming, make-up and sound effects. At the end, each team presents its pitch to a professional panel.

The common goal of this activity is to provide multiple, meaningful learning experiences in the outdoors that are of lasting value to group members once they return to their routine. To achieve this goal, the group establishes a base level of comfort before moving sequentially to more challenging physical, mental, and/or emotional activities.

NEWSCAST

This is an adventure for the group. The group will decide on ideas to make a news spot about. It could have something to do with the company, a goal achieved or new products in the making. It creates new thinking in the participants on where the company can, or should go from now, and a lot of interesting ideas can come to the surface, ideas the would not otherwise have been heard.

The new spot will be written, directed, covered in pictures, and with possible interviews. There will be selected a reporter in the group to tell the story, and everyone will be given rolls to play either on the crew side or in front of the camera.

MUSIC VIDEO

This is a highly creative process, where the participants make their own song, perform it and direct it. A piece like this demands rehearsal and concentration. A music video can only be made if one work together towards the goal.

The song can be made over a company theme, or company message. The music is added, dance steps choreographed, and carefully practiced before the piece finally is video taped.

When the group later gets together to watch the finished project, they will have a second bonding experience, and a great time, in laughter and fun, recalling the creative process and the close work relationship required to make the music video. This is truly a good time, and a great exercise.
