The Ask

MFCU needed a high-quality commercial within a tight budget. The goal was to create a visually compelling piece while maximizing resources and efficiency. 

“I can't believe how many people and how much work it takes just for 30 seconds.”
The Challenge

We had to work within tight financial constraints while maintaining a polished final product. There were plenty of shots throughout the city that we had to capture over the course of two days, so every decision had to be strategic to ensure production value remained high without unnecessary expenses. Our mantra is that every shot has to count.

The Solution

To overcome these hurdles, we developed tight storyboards, ensuring that every shot was essential and minimizing wasted time. We leveraged strong industry relationships to have crew members take on multiple roles and maximized our locations to create varied visual environments. Additionally, we selectively chose gear that provided high production value while being efficient to move, allowing us to make the most of each shoot day.
