We collaborated closely with the museum to understand their vision, working with curators and historians to choose archival content that ensured the narrative was informative and emotionally resonant, while meeting messaging goals. The final product seamlessly weaves together archival footage, photographs, and audio recordings of Louis Armstrong, and features interviews with historians and musicians for expert insights and personal anecdotes. This successful project strengthened the relationship between Really Useful Media and the Louis Armstrong House Museum, leading to our most recent collaboration producing a tribute video honoring the memory of Chair Emeritus Jerome Chazen and his lifelong commitment to preserving Louis Armstrong’s jazz legacy for their 2024 gala.
