ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

APPROACH

We approached this a small crew of multi-talented filmmakers able to pull off a high end vehicle shoot with limited budget in less than a day. We used a six person crew for both the camera car and picture car. In tandem with the motion shoot, we also conducted a photography shoot to provide additional content for this campaign.

With a crew of six and a simple camera car, we created a web spot that tells the story of a married couple traveling to the beach in 30 seconds or less.

The vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz GLC 63s and is the main character in this story.

CAMPAIGN DELIVERABLES

EDITORIAL

All editorial was done in house at Taproot. We created a :30s and :15s spot that will be used for web and social. Along with the spots we delivered eight images fully re-touched and colored. 

The edit is a mixture of smooth leisurely driving shots intercut with performance shots that engage the viewer and enhance the vehicles features.

PHOTOGRAPHY

LOGAN ZILLMER

Photography was shot in a separate camera car dedicated to photography and done by frequent collaborator Logan Zillmer.
