Thirty years of impact, told by the people who made it happen

For their 30-year milestone, Flying High wanted more than a tribute. They asked for a visual story that honored their timeline using real photos and authentic voices. No interviews. No on-camera appearances. Just the people who built the work, telling it in their own words.


We used archival photos and a narrated timeline voiced by Flying High staff. The result was a clear, focused video that showed their history through familiar moments and memories.

The video premiered at their 30th anniversary breakfast at Waypoint 4180 in Canfield.


What the Project Covered

  • A 30-year journey told in sequence
  • Milestones pulled from archival content
  • A direct look at their current direction


How It Came Together

The D5 Group partnered with Sound United Podcast Studio. Together, we handled:


  • Scripting and story structure
  • Archival photo review and preparation
  • Voiceover coaching and session support
  • Audio and video production


The Flying High staff recorded all narration. Most had never done voiceover work before. We guided them through the entire process.


What Stood Out


  • Staff voices added weight and connection
  • Archival photos brought shared history to the surface
  • The timeline format kept the story clear and easy to follow


Audience Reaction
The room stayed engaged. Many attendees recognized themselves or their organizations in the story. The short format helped both videos land without losing attention.
