Let me share a little secret about this film you’re watching... That cozy, inviting location? It’s actually an Airbnb! 🏡 You might be wondering, why an Airbnb and not the doctor's own home? During the planning stages, we knew we wanted the film to feel authentic, stand out visually, and be cost-effective. The doctor featured in the video was located 2-3 hours away from where our team was based. Instead of traveling, which would have added significant costs and reduced our shooting time, we opted to find a local location that fit our vision perfectly. Choosing a location from a list allowed us to scout the location in advance and ensure it had the warm, cozy vibe we wanted. The setting of a film is crucial—it creates 80% of the visual impact. The remaining 20%? That’s where the talent and lighting comes in. Planning is everything. The right location not only enhances the story but can also keep the production on budget. Have you ever used a unique location for a project? How did it impact your shoot? Let me know down below! 🎬 #VideoProduction #BehindTheScenes #CreativeProcess
