Description

Wilding Pictures scripted and produced this film for Herman Nelson, a Division of American Air Filter Company, Inc. In the film, children are playing and learning in a beautiful and newly designed school, which the narrator explains is a healthy learning environment. At this point, the narrator introduces an architect who is presenting a similar building model to a school board. One school board member needs convincing and challenges the architect to explain exactly how the building would benefit the children. The architect focuses on a fundamental item – the Herman Nelson ventilation system – which affects the temperature in classrooms. He details how the system works and how the design will maintain a comfortable and healthy room temperature, so children and teachers can focus on learning. Upon completion of the presentation, the school board decides that the architect's building is the best design for learning and proceeds with the plan for the school building.
