Fairfield needed to show students the school facilities without compromising the safety of students, parents or staff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We proposed a virtual tour. A virtual tour would allow prospective students to tour the facilities, meet students, and get a feel for the place\u2014without setting foot on school grounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id='an-immersive-interactive-experience'  id=\"boomdevs_1\" ><b>An immersive, interactive experience<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The York &amp; Chapel team went onsite at Fairfield to create an engaging 360\u00b0 experience of Fairfield Prep. Two of the school\u2019s own students\u2014Will and Caleb\u2014led the tour and did a spectacular job of making any prospective students feel right at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using aerial drone photography, we captured beautiful scenes of the school quad and sports facilities. We used 360\u00b0 video equipment to capture every corner of the building interiors, including the library, the cafeteria and the gymnasium. And because we\u2019re serious about social distancing, we followed social distancing protocols throughout the shoot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a sneak peek at the final cut.

Here\u2019s what they had to say:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018When I was introduced to York &amp; Chapel my expectations were set extremely high. After working with the team at Y&amp;C throughout this project, they somehow exceeded my high expectations. From the consistent, thorough communication to their ability to listen and understand our institutional needs, the Y&amp;C team was spectacular.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final product showcases the talents of York &amp; Chapel only in support of the message and Mission of Fairfield Prep. I would highly recommend Y&amp;C to anyone looking to enhance or create their marketing campaign.\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013Kevin J.
