SCAD Media - Gainesville, Florida

UF Innovate

We’ve worked with Alex and his crew at SCAD Media for many years, and partnering with them on events has been a true game-changer—dare I say, an event saver. The first time we really leaned into their expertise was in October 2020 for an exclusively online event. SCAD Media produced polished videos showcasing several inventions of the year and seamlessly live-streamed my boss and his boss as they emceed the virtual event, skillfully interweaving the prerecorded content. The result was a flawless, professional production.

For the next two years, we hosted hybrid events, but over the last two years, we've gone fully live. (Most guests preferred attending in person, where they could taste the meatballs and spring rolls, not just see them!) This event is no small undertaking—it spans three floors of a 100,000 sq. ft. building, plus an outdoor patio, and includes networking and creative use of the space. SCAD Media continues to be essential, handling AV, shooting photos, and creating assets like banners, signs, slideshows, and more. We also still rely on their high-quality prerecorded videos, which seamlessly enhance the live event.

Just a week after that annual event, we hosted a startup pitching event in Miami—six hours from Gainesville. Once again, Alex and his team were indispensable, guiding us through the planning details and executing flawlessly on site. They designed the logo, banners, step-and-repeat screen, and nametags. At the event, SCAD Media ran AV, shot video, and captured stunning photography. I genuinely can’t imagine how we would have pulled it off without them. Not to mention, their quotes are always the most competitive, providing exceptional value.

At this point, I consider Alex and his team an extension of our own. We trust them not only for execution but also for post-event feedback and advice on how to improve future events. Alex truly knows his stuff—he’s always upping his game, investing in better equipment, and experimenting with new techniques to make us look our best. I can hand over the details with complete confidence, knowing that he’ll make the magic happen.

SCAD Media produced three ~3-minute-long Tech Tuesday spots highlighting innovations emerging from my lab and my engineering capstone senior design course at the University of Florida. These segments aired on the evening news in parallel with being posted online.

The team brought the video crew to my lab and professionally and efficiently managed the staging, scripting, and filming of all three segments in one afternoon, which was very impressive. Alex provided direction that helped us focus the short interviews on essential details the audience would be excited about. The first segment was edited and ran just a few days after the shoot. These media spots gave my lab and class a huge pop on social media and attracted the attention of print media organizations, which ran longer follow-up stories building off the short spots created. The PRgenerated around my work was incredible.

Working with SCAD Media was a great experience. They are very efficient and professional, and also adaptable, comfortable rolling with the punches and changing the plan to suit circumstances. When we set the appointment, the original plan was to film a single spot, but they realized there were other newsworthy activities ongoing in the lab and quickly reorganized and expanded the session into three unique shoots to fully capture and capitalize on everything we were doing.

I highly recommend SCAD Media, for all video production projects.

I've had the pleasure of working with SCAD for almost a year, and I'm consistently impressed by their outstanding service. Their team of graphic designers is fantastic, with an incredible talent for turning abstract ideas into visually stunning designs. What sets them apart from other firms in Gainesville is their willingness to go beyond the scope of work whenever requested. They always put in extra effort to ensure our needs are not just met, but exceeded.

SCAD Media kindly designed and implemented a website for my firm, Solarstein Capital. Alex and his team operated with the highest level of quality one could ask for. Specifically, the website has excellent visual components that are both professional and out-of-the-box. Alex also kindly hand-held the implementation process, so that the last minute tweaks and edits could look as intended. My website is now at the leading edge relative to others in my field, and this purely down to SCAD Media. Thank you all!
