The creation of the customer testimonial video for Payhawk presented a unique set of challenges. One challenge involved simplifying the intricacies of Payhawk's financial solutions while repurposing pre-existing b-roll content. Additionally, conducting interviews with two key stakeholders, including David Watson, Group Financial Controller at State of Play, was a critical aspect.
One of which being the distilling the complexity of their financial solutions while repurposing existing b-roll content. Interviewing two stakeholders, including David Watson, Group Financial Controller at State of Play, was essential. Furthermore, interviews with these stakeholders took place in challenging low-light conditions, emphasizing the pivotal role of proper lighting.
Additionally, the project was confined to a tight 4-hour shooting window due to the venue's opening hours, necessitating meticulous planning to effectively convey the transformation of State of Play's financial operations while maintaining narrative coherence, visual consistency, message clarity, and audience engagement.
For this project, our approach involved a small crew that arrived early on location. We began by capturing exterior b-roll shots of London, setting the stage for the video. Attention to lighting was paramount, ensuring that it was both flattering and well-suited for the interviews that followed.
Each interview was allocated a precise one-hour slot, allowing us to focus on capturing the essence of the conversation. Additionally, we recorded b-roll footage of each interviewee actively collaborating while using the Payhawk tool and showcasing its practical application.
In post-production, we seamlessly blended the original footage with the newly captured content. The result was a compelling 2-minute edit that encapsulated the journey succinctly. We also crafted a shorter, social media-friendly version to reach a wider audience. This comprehensive approach allowed us to effectively communicate the impact of Payhawk's solutions and State of Play's transformation.
