\u201cIn the four years I\u2019ve been at SSC, this is the first time we\u2019ve won an award for our design work,” Hutton said. “Mechell Downey, the SSC Director of Board Relations and Administrative Operations, dug up the original black and white concept art of Tanner Hall. I spent several weeks colorizing it and designing a cover that was a callback to the World\u2019s Fair posters of the 1930s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then Hutton and Nickell won in the category of Video Featurette. Their submission was entitled \u201cTelemedicine Brings You Serenity Now,\u201d which was a spoof of the 1990s sitcom Seinfeld. The video highlighted the College\u2019s push to provide free telemedicine services to full-time employees and students in the fall of 2021. The script was written by Hutton, and the promotion was shot and edited by Nickell. Both men acted in the video, which is available to view on the College\u2019s YouTube page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third category SSC won was Campaign for their \u201cFree Money (COVID Relief Funds for Students)\u201d promotion. The campaign centered on a short, humorous video entitled \u201cFree Money for You, Brett.\u201d The video\u2019s script was written by Hutton, and Nickell shot and edited the video. Both men acted in the video, which was intentionally produced to look like a cheap infomercial you might stumble across at 2:00 a.m. on public access television. The video is also available on the College\u2019s YouTube page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo be frank, it\u2019s a little shocking to win at this awards competition. We\u2019re competing against a lot of very talented teams at much larger colleges,\u201d Nickell said. \u201cWe\u2019re so thankful for our administration, who let us experiment and delve into the absurd to make these videos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
