The University of Manchester – Stellify
“Every student and each programme of activity they embark upon through Stellify, is unique and we want to capture that”
The Stellify programme was introduced to staff and students in 2016, and the wide range of experiences on offer made it a bit tricky to grasp for anyone not already familiar with it. This eight-episode project gave a real insight into the different experiences and personal stories that Stellify celebrates.
Each episode had its own vibe, shaped by the stories of the students involved. From volunteering with elderly people to helping women access free sanitary products, we captured the heart of these stories by spending a day with each student. We followed them closely on their journey.
This meant we had to stay flexible and be ready to jump into action at any moment, and that’s exactly what we did.
From travelling across Manchester to capture different moments to being part of their graduation, we made sure to get everything we needed to give their stories shape and substance.
Each film is narrated by the individuals themselves, sharing their personal stories. It only made sense to give both voice and image to these brilliant projects.
Throughout this project, we’ve had the privilege of meeting some amazing people and being a small part of their journey.
