🎥 Project Showcase: Discover Woolloongabba’s Top Dining Spots with OpenTable 🍴

We’re thrilled to share one of our projects with OpenTable, where we teamed up with the talented Montana Hughes to highlight four of Woolloongabba’s finest dining destinations. This video takes viewers on a day-to-night journey, showcasing the vibrant food, drinks, and unique atmospheres that make these venues stand out.

For this production:
👉 We spent a full day filming, capturing pieces to camera with Montana and b-roll of the restaurants.
👉 Our pre-production planning included day-to-night transitions, creating a dynamic narrative that starts in daylight and ends in the glowing ambience of Woolloongabba’s nightlife.
👉 Post-production involved tailoring edits for two formats: a longer YouTube video and a short vertical Instagram reel. Each edit was crafted to maximise the impact on its respective platform, with scenes adjusted to suit mobile viewing for Instagram.
👉 Colour grading and music selection added the final touch, ensuring the video felt vibrant, polished, and engaging.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Montana Hughes, a former MasterChef contestant, private chef, and social media star with over 512k followers. Her love for Queensland’s food scene shone through and brought a natural, energetic vibe to the video.

🎬 Indoor vs Outdoor Filming: Which is Best for Your Brand?

Choosing between indoor and outdoor filming can make or break your video production. Indoor shoots offer more control over lighting and sound, while outdoor shoots bring dynamic backdrops but also unpredictable weather and lighting.

For corporate videos or interviews, indoor filming is usually easier and more predictable. For quick social media content or event coverage, outdoor filming can add energy and excitement—just be ready for some surprises!
