Realee good things can happen with realee good content. Sound, imagery and video/film all engage viewers, conect people with places, create emotion, and call people to action. Every winery should be doing video on a regular basis.
Problem is, high quality, beautiful video content can be quite expensive for wineries with limited marketing budgets.
At chow|studios, we focus on one thing: Great imagery for the food & wine industries!
(here’s something we did for our friends at St. Supery in Napa Valley)
..and to help bridge the gap, as well as to have a bit of fun, we’re announcing our
“Realee Good Film” contest.
Here’s the DEAL….
One winery will win a complete imagery package including editorial stills and two films of approximately 5 minutes each for use as they desire. We’ll bring a whole bunch of gear to your place and take and make some magic over a period of 3-4 days at your winery/vineyard location(s). We’ll edit the content into a couple of pieces that capture the spirit and life of your winery (we’re not making TV commercial spots, here) and work with your web/editorial/creative teams to post/deliver the content to your site(s).
This is pretty much almost entirely completely free…will cost you zero, zip, nada….but there’s a catch (hey, all good things have a catch..)!
The winner will be selected based on what they’re offering us in they way of opportunity as well as their desire to shamelessly promote, exploit and make use of the content we provide as well as the opportunity, in general…again, WE DON’T WANT YOUR MONEY. (at least, not right now.)
What we’re looking for:
Excitement! You’ve realee got to be into this…If you’re not excited about it, then the stuff sits on the shelf and it doesn’t do anyone any good.
Buzz! If you’re connected, then this will help you connect more and better…if you’re not really focusing on that, cool…but this won’t fix that at all.
Facility: If you’ve got a beautiful place, then let’s show it off….beauty is beauty and doesn’t depend on how many acres, rooms, cases, etc etc.
People: Your folks want to be involved and love working for you. Let them tell us..we wanna hear it in their words, too!
Global!: We don’t care where you are. We’re up for a road trip! (but if you’re not within 200 Miles of San Francisco, you’ll pay travel expenses) South America, South Africa, Europe…even New Mexico! Wherever you are, if you’re into it, we’re there!
Intangibles: US: We like warm and fuzzy feelings…we’re creative. You: Think outside the box, tell us what you’re realee about and give us your best shot. We guarantee we’ll give you OURS!
