MIT Imagination by Chris Peterson SM '13

We’ve just launched a new MITAdmissions video. It’s called “MIT Imagination.” You can watch it here:

Professor Woodie Flowers once told me that “MIT can be either a steamroller or a candy store: it depends entirely on how you look at it.” We wanted to make a video that showed the candy store side of things.

Soon I’ll post up more on the making of MIT Imagination, along with some b-roll and a montage of mascot pain. In the meantime, I’d like to thank everyone who made this video possible over the last six months, since it was, as the credits said, a labor of love by many people at MIT.
