High Caliber Karting and Entertainment x DMO

The Task

For this project, our team developed a full promotional campaign for High Caliber Karting and Entertainment, an indoor action park in Okemos known for its go-karting, axe-throwing, archery, arcade attractions, and accessibility initiatives, such as wheelchair-friendly karting. From concept to execution, we collaborated to create an engaging advertisement that showcased the diverse experiences the venue offers for everyday visitors and private events. 

Our process began with brainstorming and creative development, including building a mood board, crafting a script, and refining the overall campaign vision. Production required hands-on teamwork as we scouted filming locations, set up equipment, and directed on-site talent, including some team members who stepped in as actors. One major challenge we navigated was the limited time allowed on the go-kart track, which pushed us to communicate clearly, work efficiently, and be extremely intentional with every shot. Despite the constraint, our team adapted quickly and captured strong footage. 

In post-production, our editing team brought the campaign to life, transforming our planning and on-set work into a polished final advertisement. Overall, this project strengthened our ability to collaborate across roles, problem-solve under pressure, and deliver a cohesive creative campaign from start to finish.

“Working on the High Caliber Project taught me a lot about what goes into executing a campaign from start to finish. Other projects I have worked on have been mostly conceptual, but this was so hands-on which was so valuable to me. I think that our editing team did an incredible job bringing the ad to life. They pieced together the shots so well, and it turned everything we had worked for into the final product. I’m overall proud of how everyone on the team came together. We all contributed something different and, in the end, created an amazing final product.”
