OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ORBIS Production, and what were your goals?

We hired them to create corporate feature videos of our recent assets for sale – factories in Switzerland and Italy. There were eight videos in total: four short feature films and four one-hour presentation videos.

SOLUTION

We wanted to showcase the factories and show what they are and how they work. We wanted it to be done in such a way that prospective buyers would feel engaged and understand how the factories operated.

ORBIS made four feature films of 3.5 minutes each, showing the factories from inside, interviewing the management and showing the the work of each of the factories from inside in an interactive and engaging way.

They also recorded four long presentation videos for each of the plants (1 hour each) The process was very smooth and well organized, especially considering that filming on multiple locations was involved. We got an out-of-the-box service and didn't have to worry about anything – ORBIS' management team handled the whole process, organized everything for filming on location, prepared the scripts, and interviewed the management.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We have worked mostly with Mike Lisjak, Elen and Marco. As mentioned above, the whole process was dealt with in a very professional manner, without a single hiccup.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The videos resulted in very profitable sales of the assets. ORBIS helped to shape the marketing strategy, developed the scripts, and made four excellent films, showing the scale of the plants from inside. They filmed real stories of each factory, shaping the right perception that resulted in the sale.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The workflow was extremely effective and efficient. They used Vimeo and frameio tools for our approvals, and everything was great. They also delivered everything before the deadlines.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

No. Everything was done perfectly.

The filming lasted for three days and postproduction was quick and flawless.

The videos are AMAZING! We never thought it was possible to capture the essence of our jewelry in a mini-movie (sorry, can't call these masterpieces "ads").

Mike, Ilya, and Lukas went the extra mile when they were creating the concepts for the videos and came up with real stories as opposed to the usual "hey, buy our stuff" ads.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

The whole process was simply magical. Getting to know the team, reviewing the concepts, filming, and reviewing the final videos was an amazing experience. The whole process went without a single hiccup because Mike was always there to answer all our questions and deal with all our concerns.

Well, where to start? Their creativity is truly mind-blowing. We were expecting high-quality video ads but we didn't think making small movies out of them was possible.

Are there any areas for improvement?

To be honest, none. ORBIS Production team is fantastic.
