THE PROJECT

A recruiting video for 2025 Pittsburgh Penguins 3rd Round draft pick and current BU player Charlie Trethewey

Sent to him and put up on the scoreboard at Agganis Arena during his official visit

MY NOTES

I used the audio of an old NHL Playoff commercial from 2010/2011, taking the majority of the narration and reframing it as a story of a future at BU.

Our head recruiter talked with the prospect’s family to get archival footage and photos of the player when he was a child. We also included a shot of Shawn Horcoff, who was his coach at the time. To get footage of Charlie, I had to dig through our recruiting database, Youtube, Instagram, and even TikTok.

I spliced in footage of our Head Coach, Jay Pandolfo, scoring and lifting the Stanley Cup, as well as other footage of Terriers past and present.

Charlie Trethewey ended up committing to BU and is currently on the roster.
