Visit OKC recently launched a vibrant new advertising campaign, showcasing local talent and production crew. During this process, Visit OKC met with four local creatives who lent their voices to the Oklahoma City commercials. As the team delved into the voiceover production, the unique stories and creative contributions of these artists became a narrative worth sharing. It was crucial for Visit Oklahoma City to narrate OKC’s story through the perspectives of its residents. To achieve this, Visit OKC collaborated with Prairie Surf Studios, a local video production team, to produce the Faces of the Modern Frontier video series. This project served as a platform for collaboration, centered around a shared love for the city and a desire to create something meaningful together. These videos provide an in-depth look at each artist and their affection for OKC, capturing them in their natural environments. There were no scripts or pre-set questions; the goal was to capture authenticity and individuality. One of the featured artists, Tony Tee, collaborates with a group of artists at Spark! Creative Lab. “Oklahoma City has definitely progressed in the last ten years of just becoming its own sound. There are enough artists from here that we can say that’s an Oklahoma team. I think people’s passions are overriding what their fears are and it’s really kind of a dope moment to be an artist in Oklahoma City,” said Tee. Shante Russell, a singer and performer, draws inspiration from the unwavering support of the Oklahoma City community. “If I want to perform, I know who to reach out to. If I want to dance, I know where to go. What I love about Oklahoma City is how connected we are. There is like a web here of people and you meet one and they connect you to another. People want to support you,” Russell said. Meet more Faces of the Modern Frontier at VisitOKC.com. FACES OF THE MODERN FRONTIER: OKC’S CREATIVE COMMUNITY TAKES CENTER STAGE
