BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a creative director for a country music artist based in Nashville, TN.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 7 Wonders Cinema?

While looking for teams to help tell the story of our artist, who experienced a life-changing medical diagnosis, 7Wonders were brought to the table. We were looking for a team to help craft a narrative to share the story in a high-energy, cinematic way, and 7Wonders was the crew to make this come to life. When researching they had incredible commercial and documentary experience - they were a clear choice.

What were your goals for this project?

Our main goal was to share the story of the artist pre-condition through the treatment/rehab and then give an optimistic end to show where we are headed.

SOLUTION

How did you select 7 Wonders Cinema?

In looking at both their pervious work and through conversations, we knew they would be the team to help tell the story. Their passion for the story, music, and the artist showed through in all of our pre-production conversations. They were a team of true professionals who were able to give us confidence in the project that we would have the best possible result. All this in the midst of the global pandemic.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

From day one, the team were true professionals. From all of their pre-production zooms, emails and phone calls they were on top of all communication. Once we were boots not the ground, we only had two full days in Nashville to capture all content. They worked tirelessly over those two days. During the shoot there were a few instances that required on the go thinking - and they did not waver. They also were able to work with the Tennessee Titans to have access to the football stadium for the hero end shots. This was huge.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

Communication is clearly key for the team at 7Wonders. Once the initial capture was done, the ending process was done in a timely manner, and we were presented with a first edit, which we were able to give feedback - and they took all of our feedback into consideration. If they felt the changes did not need to be made, they were able to clearly communicate their creative choices and made me and my team feel confident.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

What can I say - the results truly spoke for themselves, and exceeded our expectations. The film was cinematic and engaging. They are tasteful in their editing, and you could tell they made the story the priority, but also were able to flex some creative muscle with the use of cool video fx and editing tricks.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Could not ask for a better team to work with from a communication and workflow standpoint. Even when we were less than communicative, they were gracious and kept us on track during the entire process.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The quality of the end product, and the professionalism with which they were able to get us the result. You can tell they are passionate about telling stories.

Are there any areas for improvement?

My hope is they continue to grow their team so more people are able to have them work on projects. Right now they are small, but mighty - and I hope to see them continue to grow.
