The opportunity

UMC approached Hansen Belyea with an incredible opportunity to document a project that is not only a significant milestone for the company and their partner, Corix, but also has tremendous implications for the Pacific Northwest region and beyond.

This past spring, UMC was actively constructing a new Energy Utility District in the Downtown Bellingham Waterfront District in Washington state. This new energy utility district was developed through a collaboration between UMC and Corix. The project will undoubtedly transform the community’s access to green energy and contribute to the ongoing efforts to increase public access to the waterfront with new businesses, housing, and recreational areas.

UMC contracted us to shoot and produce a 5-minute video that captures what this project means for the community, the people involved in its construction, and the environment.

Bringing it all together

This video showcases the services our clients expect from a Hansen Belyea production: captivating storytelling, sweeping drone footage of the landscape and site, high-quality sound bites from interviews with key people, and imagery and music that enhance UMC’s incredible story with this project.

The UMC team posted the video to their LinkedIn page shortly after the final cut was completed, receiving a great reception. Their leadership team shared that they received very positive feedback on both the video and the project itself. This is the best kind of feedback, as it shows that the client’s customers and supporters were able to look beyond a 5 minute video and truly appreciate the story and impact of the project for the community it serves.
