Where and when is the commercial used…

J. J. Best Banc. places advertisements during classic car auctions which are hosted all over the United States. They buy their media based on where and when these car auctions run. They buy on national broadcast tv, channels that cater to this kind of demographic. Someone watching these auctions may not actually be there physically but may have a car in mind that they want to purchase, thereby leading to a call to J.J.Banc.

What we were hired to do…

J.J.Banc asked for creative that demonstrates that they are a bank, and that the payment was the primary directive. There are a lot of moving parts in this 30 second spot, to be honest, to me it’s right on the edge of having too much information. The owners and managers wanted to show payments and include names and photos of the cars that relate to the payment. Overall the spot conveys that J.J. Best will give you a decision on financing of your classic car within 5 minutes.

Tamer Industries

My firm Slocum Studio manages Tamer Industries website and online marketing. As part of those efforts I was asked to create a video showing the companies operation. Tamer manufactures sound enclosures, these units are built to sound proof manufacturing presses, screw machines, cutters, diesel engines and just about any machinery that makes a lot of noise.

How I plan

Before I even hit the factory floor I formulate a marketing plan with the CEO and marketing people of the company. At that meeting I learn what the call to actions are and what product or service to focus on. At Tamer industries it was important for them to show that they are the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). So in the filming I showed the process of workers grinding, stamping and shaping the metal that these enclosures are made of. In the movie I also included the engineering department and their cad design equipment.

How I shoot

Once I find out the floor layout from the foreman and learn of the restricted areas or any other sensitive area to tread lightly in I then plan the filming. I avoid needless contact with the supervisors or plant manager as I prepare my equipment and move around filming. I keep at a safe distance from the workers so as not to distract them from their tasks.

Post Production

I touch down once more with the CEO and marketing staff just to confirm what the hot buttons are in reference to the marketing plan and what they would like the commercial to portray. In the case of this movie Tamer Industries has had very strong results and the movie is very heavily played on their site. And the CEO has confirmed that many orders have been placed because of it.
