The organization, led by Geoffrey Canada, have already won critical acclaim from the likes of President Barack Obama and have been featured on television (60 minutes, Oprah), movies (Waiting For Superman) and even commercials (AMEX). So we were genuinely honored and humbled by the trust they placed in us to tell the important story of their work at the St. Nicholas Housing projects. After spending a week with HCZ and the people of St. Nick, we became even more inspired to deliver something that reflected the power and beauty of their work. Our short film debuted at HCZ's annual fundraising gala to an audience that included Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Drawing continued praise throughout the event, the video set the tone for a night that concluded with over $6MM raised.

So when we got the call to create an intro piece to kick off the first ever live video chat interview with the President of the United States, we couldn't exactly say no. So we crafted a story of a user, who becomes inspired by others to submit their own question for the President. It was truly an honor to be a part of such a landmark event and we all turned bright red when The President made reference to our video!

He and his team loved what we did for Lady Gaga's day at Google and asked if we could make one for him. Being the huge soccer fans that we are, how could we say no? As we began crafting his story, we learned that at the core of this international superstar is just a little boy who always dreamed of being a professional soccer player. And through determination and hard work, made his dream a reality. Originally meant as just an event sizzle video, Google chose to put the spot online which subsequently ended up in the top 10 on Creativity Online's Adcritic Chart.

This was the story we wanted to tell and thankfully Google let us do just that. To do this, we took the approach of creating something that felt much more personal and intimate and captured the experience of how most of the world lived these memorable events. After only four days, 2011's video views skyrocketed past 2010's, was featured in AdWeek and topped both the Mashable and AdAge's Viral Ad charts. Due to the enormous reception it received, Google chose to feature on their global homepages along with their 2012 NYE doodle. In just three weeks, Zeitgeist 2011 became the most viewed Google Search video, ever. Client // Google Agency // Whirled Director // Scott T.
