Inspire the Mind. Showcase the Future.
At Astor, we turn the curiosity, community and character of higher education into films that engage students, parents, alumni and partners alike. From cinematic campus tours to research showcases and authentic student stories, we blend broadcast craft with creative strategy to deliver video content that drives applications, boosts reputation and brings your institution’s vision to life.
Educational Video Production
From Idea to Impact
Great education films start with authentic ideas. Our creative team works with your faculty, students and marketing teams to shape concepts that are on-brief, on-brand and on-message. We then translate them into clear treatments, scripts and storyboards that your whole institution can review and approve with confidence.
What you get: tailored concepts, mood boards, scripts, storyboards, shot lists, schedules, risk assessments, rights/consent workflows and brand-aligned creative direction.

Get to know
your institution
We begin by immersing ourselves in your campus, culture and community. From student demographics and recruitment goals to brand guidelines and key messages, we gather the insight needed to shape films that feel authentic and relevant.
Build the narrative
Every university has stories worth telling—whether it’s groundbreaking research, vibrant student life, or inspiring alumni journeys. We map out the story beats—who, why, where and how—then design a structure that can work both as a flagship film and as shorter cut-downs for specific channels.
Visualise the Play
Before cameras roll, we create storyboards, shot lists and schedules to bring clarity. We also plan for graphics, titles and branding elements so that your content aligns seamlessly with institutional identity.
Refine & ready
Finally, we pressure-test everything for clarity, accessibility and platform fit. From widescreen hero films to vertical social edits, nothing goes live until it’s polished, rights-cleared and approved by your team.
