Stream renovation activity in Bear Creek at O'Fallon Park

For this video documenting the renovation of Bear Creek to improve its habitat for trout fishing, Full Duck videotaped people from the non-profit organizations, public agencies and private companies that came together as they participated in volunteer cleanup day for the creek, shrub and tree plantings and the dramatic activity of changing the creek bed itself. Full Duck made the final video even more compelling by using additional footage of the many ways the public uses the park and archival footage of the story of public parks and fish hatcheries. The video educates the viewer about fishing habitat and motivates the viewer to use public parks responsibly.

Needing a higher level of clarity, this prestigious research organization requested Full Duck to polish journal articles, proposals and materials used to interact with study participants.

VOC volunteers planting shrubs on a work day

Full Duck always had a good time following volunteers and staff around Colorado to collect footage of plans, projects and the fun of people working together to accomplish great feats. Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, a model organization for unleashing weekend warrior power, leads armies of citizens into city parks and the Colorado wilderness to improve trails and campgrounds for greater public access. Full Duck produced several videos to supply motivation to participate and training to participants.

A youthful summer gardener selling produce to a restaurant owner

What better way is there for an active group of inner-city youth to spend a summer than learning how to grow flowers and vegetables, market the produce, become good neighbors, and refurbish a neglected city lot? Full Duck got the assignment to capture the youths' journey through this process and their success. The energy and enthusiasm of the youth, narrated by one lively pair and peppered with youth activities and comments, helped the video win a Merit award in the Society for Technical Communication International Video Competition, 1999.
