When Northwestern University announced its major expansion in computer science, they asked us to help tell the story. Mode Project collaborated with the university’s McCormick School of Engineering, creating a short video about the expansion and the crossing of traditional boundaries into fields such as journalism, robotics, education and art.

We leveraged our strength as an integrated studio by combining production, 2D and 3D animation, live-action production, storytelling and editing to tell Northwestern’s powerful, authentic story. This video is our second film for Northwestern, building on the success of award-winning “A Different Way of Thinking”, the engineering school’s flagship brand video.
