How 29 Pixel Studios partnered with USD 497 to capture an important community milestone through photography, videography, and drone production.
When Lawrence Public Schools (USD 497) needed professional multimedia coverage for the grand opening of Empowering Brew, they turned to 29 Pixel Studios for additional creative support.
On October 22, 2026, Empowering Brew celebrated its official ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking an exciting milestone for the school district and the Lawrence community.
Our job? Capture the moment, tell the story, and deliver content while the excitement was still fresh.
An Extension of Your Creative Team
Not every organization needs a full-time production crew on staff. But when important events happen, having access to an experienced creative partner can make all the difference.
That’s where 29 Pixel Studios comes in.
Working alongside USD 497, our three-person production crew provided comprehensive event coverage, combining multiple creative disciplines into one coordinated effort.
Our services included:
- Event Videography: Capturing the ceremony, atmosphere, and important moments.
- Professional Photography: Creating a collection of images for communications, marketing, and future storytelling.
- Drone Videography: Adding aerial perspectives to showcase the event and its surroundings.
- Rapid Post-Production: Producing and delivering a polished highlight reel in less than 24 hours.
By combining these capabilities, we helped provide USD 497 with professional multimedia assets without the need to coordinate multiple production vendors.
Why Speed Matters
In today’s communications landscape, timing is everything.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony generates excitement, community interest, and opportunities for engagement. Getting professional content into the hands of a communications team quickly allows organizations to capitalize on that momentum.
For Empowering Brew, our team delivered the finished highlight reel in less than 24 hours.
That meant the story could continue while the celebration was still fresh.
Creative Partnerships That Scale With Your Needs
Our relationship with Lawrence Public Schools reflects the kind of B2B partnerships we value at 29 Pixel Studios.
Sometimes an organization needs a complete video production. Other times, it simply needs additional cameras, photographers, drone operators, or experienced creative professionals to support an existing communications team.
We understand that flexibility matters.
With more than two decades of production experience, 29 Pixel Studios helps businesses, school districts, agencies, and organizations expand their creative capabilities without expanding their permanent staff.
We don’t need to replace your creative department. We’re here to make it stronger.
