A grant-funded curriculum that needed to look as good as it reads.

Rev. Brandan Robertson had already done the heavy lifting. The Queer & Christian curriculum was fully written, the scripts were highlighted for on-screen text, and the grant was secured. What he needed was a team that could show up, capture it cleanly, and wrap it in a visual identity that matched the weight of the work. The series serves the LGBTQ+ Christian community and needed to feel accessible, contemporary, and credible from day one.

Challenge

Eight chapters of curriculum content. One day to get it all on camera.

The project came with a focused budget and a clear vision. All eight chapters had to be filmed in a single session, which meant the day had to run tight. On top of that, the series needed a complete visual identity — title cards, lower thirds, and full-screen text overlays — that didn't exist yet. Everything had to feel cohesive and connect directly to the look and feel of Brandan's published book, without spinning up a full separate branding engagement.

Solution

The Raised Media team showed up to the sanctuary in Queens ready to move. With scripts prepared and a teleprompter in place, they worked through all eight chapters in a single day. Brandan's delivery on camera was natural and confident, and the sanctuary itself gave the footage a warmth that fit the content perfectly. Designs built the full visual system from scratch on the design side. Title cards, lower thirds, and full-screen text overlays, all drawn directly from Brandan's book covers. Contemporary typography, a restrained palette, nothing overworked. Every graphic was mapped to specific moments he'd pre-highlighted in the script, so everything landed exactly where it was supposed to. Chapters were delivered via Frame.io in batches so Brandan could review as we went.

We filmed the entire series at his church sanctuary in Queens and built a visual system pulled straight from his book's design language.

Stats

Eight chapters delivered clean, with zero revision requests.

The Devout Series is finished and ready for Brandan's YouTube audience. From first email to final delivery, the project ran four months. Most of it pre-production, design, and coordination. The filming was a single day. The visual identity Hannah built gives the series a cohesive, professional look that holds up alongside Brandan's published work and positions the curriculum as a genuine educational resource. Brandan's note after watching the final batch: "This looks incredible. Great work. No edits from me."

Thank you.

To Brandan for bringing us a project that actually mattered. Clear vision, prepared scripts, and zero drama on delivery day. That's the best kind of collaboration.
