The BRIEF
Capturing the Teppanyaki Experience
We were approached to craft a captivating video that unveiled the unique dining spectacle offered by Oborozuki’s Private Teppanyaki Experience. The aim was to showcase the luxurious ambiance and dining experience Oborozuki offers to potential new customers, to promote the venue across different digital channels and their website.
Within the initial brief, we were given references for what they had envisioned in terms of narrative approach, image quality, editing style, and colour grading for us to build our campaign.
Production
Storyboard
Our first step in the pre-production process what to design a storyboard that highlighted every aspect of the Private Teppanyaki Experience; from the elegant entrance, the introduction to all the raw and premium ingredients, the luxurious Sake Experience, to the flare and skill executed at the highest level by the specialised Teppanyaki chef. This step by step walkthrough was accompanied by visual references for our shots and editing approach, as well as music options for the client to choose from.
Location & Scheduling
The next stage of pre-production was to go out to the location for a recce. We made sure to capture the venue from all angles to build our shot list off, get a better understanding of the staff’s roles and responsibilities throughout the experience, discuss the talent on offer, and made note of the practical lighting we could utilise, while making a list of the equipment needed (lighting and camera gear) that would assist in bringing the video to life. Finally, we were then able to put together a detailed schedule and call sheet for all cast and crew to work off on the day.
Delivery
Post-Production
Tactile - that was the goal for our Oborozuki edit. In order to get an emotional reaction from audiences, we felt the best way to put them in the shoes of a guest fortunate enough to experience the Private Teppanyaki offerings, we focussed on an immersion of sounds; slicing, simmering, sizzling, clinking of sake glasses. All of this flowed into the footage effortlessly, and then was further elevated by the energetic classic track accompanying the visuals.
Final Product
The final video represents the luxury one can expect when dining with Oborozuki; there’s detail and care that goes into the flawlessly designed elegance for those who walk into the Private Teppanyaki Experience. The client was thrilled with the outcome of our delivery by curating a video that showcased just that.
