For this one, we skipped the script and started with a conversation š„
Weāve worked with Vollrath Foodservice on a number of projects over the years, and the goal of this one was to tell the story behind their partnership with Chef Yia Vang, a James Beard Award-winning chef and owner of Vinai in Minneapolis.
Instead of handing someone a script and asking them to deliver a predetermined story, we started with a conversation. We wanted to hear about Chefās parentsā journey to America, his childhood, and the experiences that shaped the way he approaches food and his craft today. That conversation became the highlight of our main film.
We used additional footage from shoot day for breakout videos, featuring specific product stories and soundbites. The result was 14 videos from one day of production, plus vertical versions of each. This campaign went on to win a Silver ADDY from AAF Wisconsin (formerly AAF Fox River) for editing, cinematography and branded campaign, along with a Judgeās Choice Award.
As it turns out, sometimes the best script is one you donāt write!
