Case Study: Pacific Aviation Museum at Pearl Harbor

Challenge: Create a dynamic video to explain the purpose of and raise funds for a new $50 million aviation museum on historic Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Campaign: Edit 1 Media worked closely with Allan Palmer, the CEO of PAM at the time, to create a strong script designed to compel the viewer to donate funds for a new historic venture. Combining WWII public domain footage with new footage and strong voice over talent, Edit 1 Media created a riveting video with a clear capital campaign appeal.

Results: "Ford Island: Preserving a National Treasure" was shown at the 2nd Annual Benefit Dinner and was incorporated into a custom authored DVD. Hundreds of copies have been distributed nationally which helped to raise over $10 million in two years.

Additional Works: Edit 1 Media created additional videos for PAM's fundraising and was commissioned to create videos for exhibits in the museum which opened in December 2006. Edit 1 Media won a First Place Telly Award for the short film "A Return to Ford Island" in 2007.
