Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Meeting the goals of a diverse group of constituents, Vida worked with the author and his staff, parents and publisher to tape a series of interviews and behavior modeling sessions. Vida produced and edited the entire program. |
"Houghton Mifflin's experience with Vida was superb."
"Vida's truly expert staff took the lead on a complicated and unique process involving book editors, marketing and publicity directors, a high-profile author, therapists, therapeutic clients, and more. The planning, filming, and production process was efficient and collaborative--and more than a little fun. The end result is a short film of lasting value and impact."

Vida producers followed children and teachers for three years and produced a documentary illustrating the study’s (positive) findings. |

"Vida helped us tell our story accurately and powerfully."
"Vida staff took the time to understand what we wanted this short film to convey, and then figured out how to best communicate those ideas in a visual narrative. I've found that watching just five minutes of Vida's incredible film is enough to convince even the most jaded educator that our program works and more importantly, why it works.'

"It was an up close and personal experience."

"I distinctly remember sitting around the table at our meetings..."
"...listening to the conversation fly. I thought to myself, what a group of strong, funny, brusque, business-like, eminently positive women. And I get to say I know them!"

"Vida listened to our Ideas..."
"...did their own research, asked questions and truly collaborated with us to formulate a plan for our video. I was immediately impressed by the Vida staff. They managed two days of shooting with sensitivity and good humor and weeks of editing and re-editing, often by committee. Vida produced a wonderful short video that more then met our expectations."

"The footage is excellent."
“Throughout our partnership, Vida remained vigorously insightful about our needs and desired outcome. And dare I say it? The entire Vida team was actually fun to work with. And that’s important, because under the pressure of deadlines, 'uncooperative' babies, nervous physicians, no-shows on the day of the shoot and cramped quarters, it became crystal clear that an affirmative attitude can make or break the day-of-shoot experience as well as the final product."
Gretchen Hunsberger, Massachusetts Program Director
