BJ was the honored hero at the Take Steps Walk in Fairfield, CT

Another year down in the fight against the suffering caused by Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, two very debilitating digestive diseases.

In this year’s edition, McElroy Film’s videographers were sent to Atlanta, Boston, and Fairfield, CT to film Take Steps Walk Events. This time, the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) asked to focus the video on BJ, a young boy who has already suffered for years. Despite it all, BJ has developed a very positive outlook on life and has devoted himself to helping raise money and awareness with his parents’ help. Also included are similar voices who have suffered or know someone with the diseases and raised money to help find cures and help keep support programs alive and well.

National Law Enforcement Memorial – Animated Splash Video

McElroy Films had the honor of working with the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund to create a video that both promoted their fundraising event, the Ride & Run to Remember, and their mission to support the families and legacy of fallen Law Enforcement officers everywhere. Part of their goal is to help fund a National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington D.C. to commemorate the history and future of law enforcement in our country.

The video is completely animated and underscored by professional voice over. McElroy Films worked with the NLEOMF every step of the way, drawing up storyboards and scripting. The animation process takes careful planning and producers that can translate the visual language of video in terms that anybody can understand and visualize. This process could not have been possible without the know-how and savy of the McElroy Films production team as well as top-notch quality animation! Enjoy the NLEOMF Animated Splash video:

Let’s Get Ready

Often, McElroy Films is approached by non-profits looking for a video solution to help their fundraising efforts. In 2013, Let’s Get Ready, a non-profit with locations around New England and beyond, was looking to update their branding in time for their annual fundraising gala. We were able to work within their budget to create a video that describes the mission and successes of the programs. Let’s Get Ready helps kids who might not have the means to continue their education to get into college by helping them study for standardized tests like the PSAT and SAT as well as help them apply for scholarships and financial aid. The programs are broken into sessions that meet up to twice a week for a few hours and are taught completely by collegiate volunteers including many Let’s Get Ready alumni. Every year, the programs help over 3000 kids and raise SAT scores by about 110 points. Most rewarding is the knowledge that 92% of Let’s Get Ready students go directly to college.

Earlier this year, McElroy Films was asked to highlight Hillside School, an all-boys boarding school in Marlborough, MA. The unique school features top-notch academic facilities as well as vast outdoor spaces and a working farm with cute animals and a vegetable garden. One of the school’s biggest supporters throughout the years has been the Daughter of the American Revolution. As tribute, Hillside school dedicated a video to the DAR.
