Say hello to the FCU that gets you

When the Big River Film Co. team was brought on to this project, the ad agency we partnered with had a concept in hand, but needed a way to bring it to life in the Production and Post-production phases. Our team worked with the ad agency to tweak the video's concept in a way that would better tell the story and streamline the commercial spot for both clarity and maximum impact. From there, we launched into location sourcing, casting, production planning, and storyboarding. To round out pre-production, we put together a stellar team of production experts to help us execute on our production days.

It was a crisp spring morning in Upstate NY (just outside the city of Syracuse) when we pressed record on the cameras and watched as our production plans came to life. Even though this commercial was designed to feel like it took place in several different homes, we filmed it entirely in one location. We used various lighting techniques and some simple set decoration to help each scene feel unique, fresh, and relatable. We also worked with a set of on-screen talent that was specifically chosen to promote diversity and inclusivity in the piece.
