A Glimpse into Factory One: A Creative Journey with Loom Creative

Project Overview: The Creative Journey Begins

Factory One is a dynamic company specialising in design, signage, and vehicle wraps. They approached us with the goal of creating a series of videos that would highlight their expertise and operations. The project encompassed one main video and four 30-second cutdown videos, each focusing on different aspects of their business: Design, Signage, Vehicle Wraps, and a comprehensive mix of all three.

Take a look at the main brand video:

Creative Concept and Development

Refining the Creative Idea

The first step in our journey with Factory One was to refine the creative idea. Factory One's vision was clear: they wanted to animate still images to showcase their design and signage work effectively. We brainstormed various approaches, ultimately deciding on a dynamic yet cohesive visual style, driven by some powerful music, that would engage viewers and highlight the intricate details of their services.

Developing the Look and Feel

Developing the look and feel of the videos was a crucial aspect of the project. We aimed to create a modern, polished aesthetic that would resonate with Factory One's brand identity. This involved using the brand colour scheme, typography, and visual elements that would bring their story to life. Our goal was to ensure that each video not only showcased their work but also communicated their brand's essence and values.

Production Phase

On-Site Filming

The production phase was an exciting part of the project. We visited Factory One's office and factory locations to capture the essence of their operations. This involved filming their signage operation, including the design team and the signage team on the factory floor. We also documented the car wrapping operations, showcasing the meticulous process and attention to detail involved in each project.

• Signage Operations: We filmed the entire signage process, from design to production, capturing the precision and creativity that goes into each sign.

• Vehicle Wraps: Our team documented the vehicle wrapping process, highlighting the skill and expertise required to transform vehicles into moving advertisements.

• Design Team: We showcased the creative minds behind Factory One's designs, emphasizing the collaborative efforts and innovative thinking that drive their success.

Managing Production

Managing production was a comprehensive effort that required meticulous planning and execution. Our team handled all elements of the shoot, including lighting and sound, to ensure that every shot was perfect. This involved coordinating with Factory One's team, setting up the necessary equipment, and capturing high-quality footage that would form the foundation of our videos.

Post-Production Magic

Editing and Motion Graphics

The post-production phase is where the real magic happens. Our team of editors worked tirelessly to bring the footage to life, piecing together each clip to create a cohesive narrative. We incorporated motion graphics to enhance the visual appeal, adding dynamic elements that kept viewers engaged from start to finish.

Animation and Color Grading

Animating the still images was a key component of the project. We used advanced animation techniques to add movement and depth to the images, making them more visually appealing and engaging. Color grading was also crucial, as it helped establish the overall mood and tone of the videos, ensuring consistency across all pieces.

Sound Mix and Music Selection

Sound plays a vital role in any video production. We meticulously mixed the sound to ensure clarity and balance, enhancing the overall viewing experience. Finding the perfect piece of music was equally important; it needed to complement the visuals and convey the right emotions. After exploring various options, we selected a track that perfectly matched the energy and style of the videos.
