Check out this video that was posted on the Walsworth Facebook page from the yearbook staff at Ilwaco High School in Ilwacho, Wash.
Is there random hilarity going on here? Yes, there is. But there is also plenty of useful yearbook sales information packed into the 2+ minutes.
The latest yearbook video to get showcased here in the Yearbooks Blog comes from Rim of the World High School in Lake Arrowhead, Calif.
The video is a take-off of the funny series of commercials done over the last couple years for the Discover card, in which celebrities have trouble communicating over the phone about a charge mix-up. Putting a yearbook spin on a popular series of ads is one fun direction to go with your yearbook video.
The Yearbooks Blog loves seeing good ideas in action, which is why we wanted to give a hearty shout out this week to the yearbook staff at Alpena High School in Alpena, Mich.
The staff decided to start using QR codes this year, but not just for supplemental content in the book. They started using them for marketing purposes to spread the word about yearbook sales.
Major bonus points to the staff at Sherwood High in Sandy Spring, Md., for this hilarious yearbook video they created this summer for the film festival at the Walsworth East summer workshop.
Several good tips to be picked up from watching this video – it’s not a good idea to run with scissors, don’t try ordering a Whopper at McDonald’s.
TV station WLUK channel 11 in Appleton/Green Bay, Wisc., featured the Menasha High School yearbook staff this morning during a weekly Friday segment spotlighting local schools and high school football.
It was a sweet little bit of pub for the staff and their book, which as they explained – loves using lots of photos.
Yearbook staffs who have access to working on Macs might think about using iMovie to create a movie trailer style video for the book this year.
Think about it – trailers for movies are often slick and eye-catching. Creating a trailer in iMovie, even one that uses still images, isn’t difficult. You can read more about creating them on the Apple website.
Summer might mean a break from class, but it doesn’t have to mean a break from promoting yearbook sales for next year.
A simple video with some yearbook images and a direct message touting an early year discount or registration special on the book is exactly what the staff at Bloom Trail High School did.
If your yearbook staff is going off to a workshop this summer, that could be the perfect time to put together a fun promotional video about the book.
It worked this past year for Kuna High School, who put together this video while they were at camp.
