In-Class Project Showcase December 2024
The project client is CityStudio Ottawa. CityStudio Ottawa is a formal, trust-based partnership between the City of Ottawa, the University of Ottawa, Algonquin College, and Carleton University; working as a bridge between the city and the community. The student team will work on HUBBUB, a student project showcase event hosted by CityStudio Ottawa. Due to a lack of interest and excitement, the client would like HUBBUB’s branding, website, and marketing to be redone. The student team will create a comprehensive branding guide, marketing package, three Wix web pages, and more to deliver to the client by December 13th.
This promotional video was created for GHS Enterprise by the REHD Productions team of the Interactive Media Design program at Algonquin College. The video should highlight what GHS Enterprise is, and why its unique approach makes it the best choice amongst its competitors.
GHS Enterprise, founded by Greg Smith, is a business service provider focused on agility, innovation, and problem-solving for companies. They help devise agile and innovative solutions for cultural, learning, and people management. Helping businesses enhance workplace culture, streamline HR practices, and empower employees. Due to the small size of the GHS Enterprise team, they are better able to tailor their solutions to their clients’ individual needs to most effectively help them thrive. GHS Enterprise serves a diverse client market ranging from HR professionals and CEOs to start-up businesses.
The main narrative for this project was to highlight GHS’s unique holistic approach and its emphasis on inclusivity and community. To do this, we aimed during the pre-production stage to make a video that felt personal rather than commercial. REHD Productions researched effective techniques used in modern marketing and noted the effectiveness of client/customer testimonials. The project’s timing aligned well with a written testimonial in progress between Greg Smith and Patrick Devey, Associate VP at Algonquin College, though the interview was uncertain due to Patrick’s busy schedule. Later in the planning phase, a second client testimonial was planned to guarantee that a client’s feedback be included in the project. This second client, John Duncan, was scheduled to be interviewed through Zoom. By the end of the pre-production phase, a plan was established to interlace two client testimonials with stock footage to support the narrative.
The video portion of the production phase was kickstarted with the in-person interview with Patrick Devey, followed by the online audio recording with John Duncan, ending with a video shoot with Greg Smith to get a closing statement for the video. One big challenge during the production phase was finding high-quality stock video and audio with limited resources. In order to ensure that all stock footage used in the project was covered by Creative Commons and/or cleared for commercial use, we analyzed the Licensing agreements of various resources (paid subscriptions and free alternatives). From this research, we established a set of resources from which to fetch b-roll footage, music, and voiceover for this project.
The video provided with this submission is a teaser of the full promotional video. We are in the process of editing the full video and obtaining licensing for voiceover software. This project’s aim is to create a short video encompassing the key attributes of a company in a captivating and fun way.
The goal of this project is to create an international real-estate platform capable of bridging the gap between people and their dream properties. Users of the Your1PropertyConnect website across the globe are capable of posting and viewing listings from anywhere in the world. Different subscription tiers cater to renters, buyers, investors, and real estate professionals. Higher-tier subscribers gain access to more features of the website. For example, the higher tiers include advanced analytics, valuable for real estate agents managing multiple listings. In the future, the website will also feature relocation opportunities for students and professionals to foster community interaction. With unmatched service and support, Your1PropertyConnect is dedicated to making real estate accessible to everyone worldwide.

The Scoopinator3000 is an automated ice cream scooping system that allows users to order their desired ice cream flavor and toppings through a mobile app. Once an order is placed, a cup is dispensed from a cup dispenser, and the Fanuc 200id robot arm scoops the selected flavor, placing it into the cup. The cup is then transported via a conveyor belt to the dispenser stations, where the correct portions of toppings are automatically added. The entire process, from selecting the flavor to adding the toppings, is seamless and ensures consistent, precise servings, enhancing both speed and accuracy in busy environments like ice cream parlors.
This project is a high-impact initiative designed to revolutionize the client’s process for managing and analyzing interview transcriptions and summaries. Currently, students manually transcribe interviews with clinicians and rely on ChatGPT for individual summaries. However, this approach is both time-consuming and lacks a centralized, scalable storage solution for efficient data management.
The new application will automate the entire summarization workflow, leveraging GPT technology in the background. Users will be able to upload interview transcripts, auto-generate summaries, and categorize them by subject area (e.g., cardiology, neurology). Additionally, the application will feature cross-summary functionality, allowing for comprehensive analyses within each category.
This system represents a strategic shift from small-scale, manual processing to automated platform capable of handling large volumes of data. By streamlining these processes, the project will enable stakeholders to access and analyze interview insights more effectively, significantly enhancing both scalability and usability.
VitalTracer, is a company in the health sector which makes wearable devices for at-home vital sign monitoring of infant patients, granting health professionals insight into the health of said patients both in and out of the clinic.
We have created a mobile application for Android devices which works in tandem with this device, and is the medium through which health professionals can interface with the data collected by viewing the visualizations provided in our app and parents can ensure the device their children are wearing is always connected.
