First meeting: Graham met us at our studios so that we could get a good idea of what was required for his campaign. We talked about the approach, possible filming dates, production deadlines and budget. The objectives were:
* Create a 2-3 minute video that demonstrates the product
* Communicate unique selling points
* Produce the video within the agreed budget
* Provide support throughout the process e.g. name and graphics

About: Graham had been working on his invention, a low cost slow motion camera, for some time and was eager to begin a Kickstarter campaign that would generate the funds he needed for mass production.
After a thorough search on Google, he found Motionfish. Check out the campaign on Kickstarter here.

Second meeting: We introduced Graham to George, the director, and discussed the visual style and script for the video. We also finalised the filming locations and filming date.
In-between: We corresponded with Graham via email and worked on the product name and script, making sure everything was ready for the big day...
Production day: An early start to the day. The crew set up lighting in the studio and captured slow motion filming . We then moved on to the interviews and filmed in three different locations. The crew included a director, camera operator and experienced video producer.

Editing: Thanks to Laura, the video editor, we sent an accurate first draft to Graham. With everybody's feedback, we were able to tweak the video and within two weeks the final version was ready.
The finished video met all Graham's objectives and was completed within budget and on time - ready for the big launch!
