The challenge

A whole shire, short notice.

Attract investors. Invest Cardinia needed imagery that shows growth industries, innovation and the 'best of both worlds' lifestyle, in line with its 'ready to rise' brand.

Not an ad for anyone. The business videos had to showcase opportunity in Cardinia, not advertise the businesses filmed.

A short lead time. Around ten priority locations and three businesses had to fit into one week.

What we did

Plan every hour.

We built call sheets, shot lists and film packs for every location and business, then moved the indoor interviews to the wet day.

Approach
01

Ten locations

Business parks, a logistics estate, manufacturers, a brewery, farmland and Mt Cannibal, with sunrise and drone where it counted.

Approach
02

Three business stories

Agribusiness, advanced manufacturing and a family legacy business, each with a key message set by the council.

Approach
03

Fast first edits

About 6,000 frames culled to 145 edited images for the first review, two weeks after the shoot.
