Eating at a Restaurant Can Win You $1000! 

No joke, you can win $1000 just for shooting a quick video of a Sweet or Savory experience you had while dining out. Last week, Axios Productions shot a video for a contest restaurant.com is running until October 21st. Basically, all you have to do is tell of a "sweet" moment that happened while you were dining out, like a marriage proposal, or, tell about something “saucy” that took place…like a guy dressed in a superman costume kissing a waitress. Anyway, Im sure you have tons of these moments, so why not try to win some $$?? Check out the contest details here! 

On a production note, it was a very quick turnaround project that was shot on Monday, September 26th, and delivered on Friday, September 30th! The main challenge we had for this shoot in particular, besides the tight turnaround, was shooting the entire video in one continuous shot, without any cuts, while keeping a high level of production value. We ended up using what has become our “Go To” camera, the Canon 5D Mark II DSLR, with a 24-70mm Canon L Series lens set at 35mm, on a homemade 12 foot PVC sliding track, which we were building, bolting, sanding and finessing right up until the camera started rolling…it’s just how these things go. The actual shoot lasted about 5 full hours, with another 5 hours added on for load in, setup, break down and load out, and as I’m sure all of our wonderful extras would tell you, it certainly was not a one take and done situation! Between nailing all of the lines, precisely timing everyone’s entrance, getting a smooth camera slide, making sure the subject was in focus throughout, and various other detail oriented components that presented themselves, we’re pretty happy with only 5 hours of shooting! Regardless, the final product came out looking great and the client was very pleased so, mission accomplished.

Special thanks to our lead, Tracy Pendergast, who as always was incredibly patient and professional through the entire day, Ed Steltz, who endured a less than perfectly fitting superman costume, our friends at Likeable Media for their stellar performances and support, all of our extras, and of course the entire crew.

 

Additionally, we would like to thank our close friends over at Huntington Social for allowing us to use their incredible restaurant for an entire day to capture what we needed. As always, the on site staff was amazing, the food was beyond anything a Hollywood craft service setup could provide, and of course, the location was perfect. Looking forward to more food and drink soon at The Social!
