Arise Gala

Swell Lab partnered with Living Water International to produce the Arise Gala event. Swell Lab worked on everything from storyboarding the script and structure of the event to producing the video content and branded materials.

One Thirst Global Event

Swell Lab partnered with Living Water International to produce their 2021 Global Event. The event was hosted in cities in America, Africa, Central America, South America, and Asia. Each event cast the same vision but with local language customizations either through custom voiceovers, subtitles, and stories.

Swell Lab produced a short film telling the story of Living Water. We also crafted the event brand and collateral.

Save the Date

This oversized save the date made for an eye catching, low cost, refridgerator worthy piece to tease the event prior to sending the invitation.

Invitation Kit

The invitation is designed as a gate folded card. We did this to create a unique and interactive element but at a low production cost. When folded this oversized invitation fits into a standard size envelope.

The rest of the invation kit included a response card and envelope, sponsor list, and outer envelope.

The Future Now

The Future Now is a 12-minute short film we wrote and produced for Living Water International. Our goal with this film was to tell the story of the water crisis entirely with visual storytelling. Limiting dialogue to a single line was challenging but well worth it. This approach allows the viewer to get immersed in the story without the barriers of language, subtitles, or local accents.

We shot this film on location in rural Kenya with an entirely Kenyan cast, many of which had never seen a camera before.

Forward Gala

Swell Lab handled all creative direction for the Forward Gala including branding, event design, lighting, audio, and video production. This event followed a 25th-anniversary event in which we celebrated the last 25 years of Living Water International. Now it’s time to look forward to the next 25 years. This forward-thinking direction inspired the event name as well as the futurist, modern, low-poly look of the event. All of the low-poly illustrations were done by hand based on photos.

Day 11

Swell Lap partnered with Living Water International and the 10 Days Project to produce Day 11—a special event on the campus of Texas A&M featuring Bob Goff and Phil Wickham.

Swell Lab was responsible for the branding including a separate teaser campaign called “FLOOD”, an event microsite, and event hype loop.

At the Day 11 event all of the screens played this hype loop before and after the event. This was a really dynamic way to share the visuals of the cause and promote the brand of the event.

We created a teaser campaign called #FLOOD to pre-launch the event. The following posters and social graphics were spread all over campus leading up to the launch.
