How Midnight Sun has pivoted during COVID
Scene 1
Shot: wide-angle, drone shot
Audio: Since the beginning of Midnight Sun…
Scene 2
Shot: Students in work bay, old comp and recent comp footage
Audio: …our student design team has dedicated its time and energy to building solar vehicles. Our roots run back to 1988, since then, we've built 12 vehicles that have raced across 2 continents for a total of over 60,000km powered by the sun.
Scene 3
Shot: Midnight Sun XIV Rendering of Design, prior comp journey snippet
Audio: Our goal in 2020 was to build our thirteenth vehicle, our first-ever, four-seater cruiser class. To race in the American Solar Challenge 2020.
Scene 4
Shot: Zoom video recordings
Music: A little somber
Audio: But like every organization, COVID’s impacts have cancelled the challenge and have caused our student-led team to re-shuffle what we can get done virtually.
Scene 5
Shot: Zoom video recordings
Music: more hopeful
Audio: But COVID could not stop our goal of finishing our vehicle. Spring 2020 was our first-ever virtual onboarding of over 100 new members.
Scene 6
Shot: Various cool pieces of design and tech, footage of our fun virtual team socials
Music: epic
Audio: Our workarounds of not being able to physically build the car have allowed us to prepare for what we will get done once COVID restrictions lift - that includes design, finding manufacturers, and virtual team socials to ensure our community is held strong.
Scene 7
Shot: “But we need your help”
Audio: Thousands of dollars are needed in order to make MSXIV a reality to manufacture the car. On September (insert date) 2020, Midnight Sun will be launching our second crowdfunding platform. If you’re looking to financially support the once in a lifetime student experience of building a solar vehicle from scratch. This is it. Help us push the boundaries of solar-powered transportation.
