Challenge:
Our goal was to convey the story of a young man who, despite enjoying the privileges of his Gold Member Status, lets it drive him towards self-destructive behavior and depression, while maintaining a façade of glitz and glamour to the outside world.
Approach:
We shortlisted three potential filming locations, including a penthouse Airbnb, a condo Airbnb, and a hotel suite, based on factors such as cost, location, and availability of sets. We used actual photos of these locations to create visual boards, which helped us make an informed decision on the best location to bring our creative vision to life. After much consideration, we decided on the hotel suite and worked with an interior stylist to curate decor items that would help us set the tone for our shots.
Outcome:
With a budget of just $600, we were able to create three distinct scenes within the hotel suite and bring our creative vision to fruition. Our experience taught us the importance of being resourceful and cost-effective while still achieving our goals.
Lessons Learned:
This project demonstrates the importance of planning, budgeting, and being resourceful in achieving creative goals. By carefully selecting potential filming locations based on cost, location, and availability and using visual boards to make an informed decision, the team was able to bring their creative vision to life. Collaborating with an interior stylist to curate decor items added to the overall impact of the project. The team's ability to create three distinct scenes within the hotel suite despite limited resources shows the value of being resourceful and cost-effective.
