Project: Two TV spots and a Fundraising Video
Watch the videos
As a young organization, the Companion Animal Foundation (CAF) wanted to use television public service announcements to raise awareness with their target audience—needy individuals who can't afford essential veterinary care for their pets. We shot high definition, slow motion video of six CAF-supported pets in a way that would bring viewers into their worlds. The goal for the fundraising video was to share pet-owner stories of CAF support, illustrating the bond between owners and their pets and communicating that many different people can come upon hard times that make it difficult for them to afford essential veterinary care; thereby underscoring the dramatic need for an organization such as the Companion Animal Foundation.

Project: Pet Savvy, a 25-minute pet care educational video to be shown in schools throughout Rhode Island and distributed in animal shelters and Veterinary practices across the state, funded by the Rhode Island Foundation.

“Cherry Arnold is one of the most innovative filmmakers I've ever had the pleasure to work with, I can't imagine anyone else being able to do such a superb job under the guidelines we formulated. One of the additional, unexpected benefits we found with Cherry was that her work didn't stop when the video was completed; she took an active role in distribution and marketing, including enormously helpful suggestions that we incorporated into our plan.”
