100% Videos to Inspire a Commitment to Creativity

As part of the Centennial campaign, Otis College of Art and Design will produce a series of video spots made by the Otis College community. The focus of the campaign is how creatives persevere and give it their “all” in pursuit of their creative callings. The campaign is about committing 100%. It is a platform for celebrating the passion of the creative. The tagline: Find Your 100.

The theme of the videos embody the idea of daring to find one’s 100% commitment. Just as Otis has found its 100 (100 years of history, 100 years of struggle, 100 years of educating and supporting artists and designers), the video spots will testify to the importance of commitment coupled with creativity and explore and support how creatives persevere and give it their “all.”

The first winning video spot is scheduled for release in September 2018. 

We are thrilled to announce the 100% Videos winners:
