Client: CJ's Paint
Background
CJ's Paint is a small but proficient painting company nestled in Rogue Valley. Their hard work and dedication, led by owner Chris Ramirez, is seen in every brushstroke. Chris shared his insightful perspective on how their seemingly ordinary work leaves a profound and satisfying impact.
Objective
Our aim was to produce a short yet powerful 30-second Facebook spot, and a behind-the-scenes peek that manifested the passion and dedication of CJ's Paint. The goal was to humanize the brand and resonate with the viewers by showing how seemingly mundane tasks can hold deep meaning and fulfilment.
Approach
1. Concept Development: The plan was to craft a narrative that encapsulates the hard work of the crew while emphasizing the transformative power of their everyday work.
2. Pre-production: We planned a series of shots that would capture the intricacies of the painting process and conducted preliminary interviews with Chris Ramirez to understand his perspective better.
3. Production: We followed the crew around on their typical workday, filming their processes, and capturing candid moments. We also shot a heartfelt interview with Chris discussing his views on the job.
4. Post-production: We stitched together the interview and work footage, accompanied by a voice-over from Chris, highlighting the fulfilling aspects of the work that many might overlook.
Challenges & Solutions
1. Limited Timeframe: The biggest challenge was capturing the essence of CJ's Paint in a 30-second Facebook spot. We solved this by focusing on powerful, meaningful shots, paired with Chris’s most impactful statements.
2. Making Everyday Work Engaging: Painting could be seen as monotonous by some. However, we overcame this by showcasing the transformative power of painting.
