2020 In Review Reel – Mural Arts Philadelphia
This year-in-review video highlights a dynamic range of public art projects, community initiatives, and creative programming led by Mural Arts Philadelphia throughout 2020. Produced during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the reel reflects how the organization adapted its programming, community engagement, and artistic practices in a time of social distancing and uncertainty.
The video combines curated media provided by the organization’s communications team with original on-site video production. To fill critical gaps, Colibri conducted supplemental filming across multiple mural sites, capturing large-scale public artworks, neighborhood context, and cinematic establishing shots—while adhering to evolving safety protocols and production limitations.
Despite the constraints of the pandemic, the project demonstrates a flexible, documentary-style approach to video production, blending remote collaboration, archival content, and in-person footage. The final piece is a visually compelling recap video that showcases storytelling through creative editing and strategic content integration—designed for digital engagement, nonprofit marketing, and annual reporting.
