Overview
Our friends at Authenticity Marketing Group asked us to develop two 30s spots that could be filmed in one day for an ongoing campaign focusing on “quality of life, until the end of life.” No easy task, but director Karl Koelling resonated with the message and was prepared to tackle the specific challenges this production presented.
Challenges
- Produce and shoot two :30s broadcast spots in one day featuring separate times of day on a tight budget
- Cast a believable and diverse family
- Directing talent into believable moments of grief with an overall uplifting tone
Solutions
We knew the only way to pull this off would be to find a single location that would work for both spots. Karl worked extensively with the talent and director of photography to bring the mood and tone of each spot into a space that matched the agency’s creative vision. Using simple camera movements, developing a rapport with the talent, and ensuring our multi-talented crew was onboard for the long production day, we were able to bring a meaningful campaign to life.
