Dartmouth Next

Overview

Dartmouth College engaged our team at Equality to design and produce the Dartmouth Next: Great Issues New Perspectives livestream series during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project required creating a high-production, TV studio-style lecture series to remotely engage students, faculty, and alumni. Partnering with Dark Star Productions, we used professional-grade video walls, lighting, and sound to deliver a compelling remote experience. Over two months in 2021 and again in 2022, we executed hundreds of deliverables, from dynamic video openers to on-screen graphics, all aligned with Dartmouth’s prestigious brand.

Challenges

The project demanded rapid development, high production quality, and remote collaboration. Two weeks before the launch, a senior member at Dartmouth required a significant pivot, leading to last-minute changes and extended work hours. Tight timelines, remote work limitations, and budget constraints further compounded the challenges.

Creative Vision & Execution

The creative vision combined Dartmouth’s history with modern design techniques, balancing innovative digital solutions with traditional academic values. We introduced adaptable design templates, advanced motion graphics, and high-end video production techniques, setting a new standard for virtual academic events. Despite the challenges, our team led with confidence and professionalism, ensuring design fidelity and swift adaptation to last-minute changes.
