Challenged Athletes Foundation

CAF provides grants for adaptive sports equipment, coaching, and competition expenses to athletes with physical disabilities. Working with CAF is truly a dream job. We have filmed and edited a wide range of videos for CAF, our capabilities include:

Brand Anthems

A brand anthem video is a short, cinematic-style video that conveys an organization’s mission and creates an emotional connection. For this anthem, we focused on CAF’s regional impact in places all across the country. We looked through hundreds of videos to find specific soundbites about CAF’s local impact. Finally, we also found a lovely song with the lyrics “I found my home right here” which were a great fit for the theme of the video.

Opening Videos for Galas

We create emotionally impactful videos that kick off fundraising galas for: Celebration of Heart, Celebration of Abilities, Celebration of Will, and Heroes, Heart & Hope. We customize each of these to focus on athletes from the region where the gala is. We strive to find music that stirs the soul and ties into the gala’s theme.

Athlete Profiles

Our background is in documentary storytelling and we love telling the incredible, powerful stories of CAF athletes. We have planned hundreds of film shoots and interviews in our careers and we make it easy for everyone involved. We coordinate filming dates & locations, conduct interviews, capture cinematic b-roll, edit hours of footage into a powerful 2-4 minute video, and then make it look and sound beautiful with color correction and mixing. These videos typically play at galas and we then create social cutdowns for use online.

Clinic Recaps

We film and/or edit recaps of the amazing clinics that CAF hosts all over the country - running & mobility, surfing, blind soccer, volleyball, swimming, skiing, pickleball, and many more. We love grabbing on-the-fly interviews from excited athletes about their love for the CAF community and the impact of these clinics.

Partnerships

We create videos that celebrate the incredible partnerships CAF has with organizations like Toyota, Nike, Össur, and EōS Fitness. Video is a great tool for these partners to showcase their commitment to supporting CAF’s mission.

Commercials & PSAs

We write & produce scripted content, commercials, and public service announcements. In this example, we wrote a :30 commercial about the power of representation for athletes with disabilities, narrated by Robin Roberts from Good Morning America.

Paralympic Spotlight

We have crafted dozens of exciting hype videos for CAF athletes chasing their Paralympics dreams. In addition to highlighting athletes at their peak, we explore the role CAF plays in providing the equipment, coaching, & travel expenses these athletes need to chase their dreams.

Event Invites

We create videos that invite the community to events like the CAF Community Weekend or a gala. We write the script, hire voice over talent, and create any motion graphics. These invites are used in CAF’s marketing emails & social media.

Gala Recaps

We film & edit highlight reels of CAF’s galas in San Francisco, New York, and San Diego. In this example, we created a recap for the Celebration of Will, which was a wonderful event full of incredible music and special guest surprises.

Grant Season Highlights

CAF grant recipients often take to social media to share videos and photos of their good news. We take those reactions and create compilations that showcase the joy CAF creates through the grant program.

Holiday Giving Campaign

We film & edit holiday videos that raise funds and showcase the power of sport to transform lives. We film athletes in action at CAF Community Weekend.

Athlete Training Videos

We create videos of CAF athletes sharing knowledge, skills, and tutorials. In this example, we put together a hype video to get people excited for a wheelchair basketball training series.

CAF History

One of our most ambitious projects was to sum up CAF’s incredible 30 years history in an engaging 6-minute video. We had a blast digging through old archival footage from CAF’s early years to create this.

Motion Graphics

We create motion graphics & animation in After Effects. Examples include: animated logos, typography, rotoscope, explainer videos, and more.

Social Media

We take videos and optimize them for social media. In this example, CAF was featured on the news and we quickly turned around a reformatted vertical version of the segment for use on social.

Operation Rebound

We filmed interviews and edited this video showcasing Operation Rebound, which supports active duty service members, veterans of all eras, and first responders.
