We tend to shoot quite a lot of “Brand Message Videos” that use interview and B-Roll footage to deliver a quick, punchy message. However, this recent project with Hourglass Diamonds took a slightly different approach to the typical formula and adopted more of a storytelling approach, rather than simply delivering a corporate message.
Justin wanted to create something with a more adventurous, intimate, and cinematic feel to it, and a few elements that we really enjoyed experimenting with in this piece were:
- Non-traditional closeup interview angles on “expressive” body parts like the hands and eyes
- Cutaways to archival footage telling a story from the past
- Music (and light sound effects) that are more reminiscent of a film score than a brand video
Lately, we’ve been looking to do more work in the sports/apparel space, so we spent a half day out in the woods with some friends getting annihilated by mosquitos and filming this spec piece with the running shoe brand Altra in mind.
Spec work (aka self-funded work for the portfolio) is something we’ve embraced in the past and continue to embrace moving forward. It gives us the opportunity to play around with ideas and try new things without too much stress. For this particular, we wanted to create something that played with contrast (fast then slow cuts, peaceful then heavy sound design).
