We spent some time earlier this week in the Yearbooks Blog talking about how much work yearbook staffs get done at the summer workshops they attend all over the country. But the summer camps are also good times!
Don’t just take our word for it. Take a look at this video below from Connor Brady, Chelsee Hill and Maria Richardson from Southwestern Randolph High School in Asheboro, N.C. They’re vets of Walsworth’s summer workshop in Myrtle Beach, and I think it’s obvious they enjoyed it.
If you’ve been frequenting the Yearbooks Blog and the Walsworth Facebook Fan Page this year, then hopefully you’ve become inspired to create a yearbook video to promote the book next year.
And if you’ve really gotten fired up by the possibilities of creating a video, and you want to get ambitious, some schools have even begun creating “lip dubs” that can involve an entire school. If that kind of project carried yearbook messaging, what better way would there be to spread the word?
In this week’s yearbook video, we get a simple, well-done promotional montage from Douglas Byrd High School in Fayetteville, N.C.
The video does a great job showing off the variety of activities at the school, all of which will be covered in the yearbook. And contains a good hook for prompting buyers, asking, “What are you waiting for?”
This week’s Yearbook Video of the Week is another of Walsworth’s “People are Talking” videos and comes from the company president himself – Don Walsworth.
In this video, Don takes a few minutes to let everyone know what’s new at Walsworth for the upcoming year. Be sure to check it out.
Yearbookers are unique. (Yeah, don’t try to hide it.) When you are in yearbook, you are IN yearbook. There’s no other group at your entire school that is like the yearbook staff. When you meet another yearbooker there is an instant bond. Finally, someone else who knows what you go through!
Only yearbookers understand all of the hard work, craziness and tears that go into creating the only book that logs the history of that school for that year. Because of that bond you look after one another and before long you have one big yearbook family. Sometimes even complete with your own secret handshake.
The Yearbook Video of the Week comes to us from the Crete-Monee High School yearbook staff in Crete, Ill., specifically the work of sophomore Fred Walls.
This is a cool montage of shots showing the yearbook staff at work, as well as a little of what readers can expect to get out of the book.
This week’s Yearbook Video of the Week comes from the guys at the Salesianum School in Wilmington, Del., and it caught our eye mostly for its slightly different approach.
Apparently at Salesianum, the yearbook will take matters into its own hands and track down the non-buyers! Hey, whatever works…
In what is definitely one of our favorite yearbook videos of the year so far, we tip our hat to Carrie Turner and Terra Spears from Northmont Middle School in Clayton, Ohio for this yearbook rap.
Any video that promotes the yearbook, and covers Vanilla Ice at the same time, will be a winner in our book. Awesome job!
Today’s Yearbook Video of the Week comes from the staff at Laurens-Marathon High School in Laurens, Iowa, who crafted a nice one-minute commercial to explain what the yearbook means.
The cool thing about this video is its simplicity – a well-done montage of students each expressing their thoughts on what they think the yearbook is.
The yearbook video of the week as we roll into March comes from the yearbook staff at Kaneland High School in Maple Park, Ill.
You should be able to spot right away that the guys involved in the making of this commercial for the Kaneland yearbook seemed to have a good time. And, they really seemed to spread their dramatic wings!
