Because this shoot would have a sort of rugged, on-the-go feel as our crew filmed both in moving vehicles and inside the homes of featured ticket-buyers, we had to prepare ourselves for everything from frigid weather conditions (we’re talking -30 plus windchill) to space and lighting limitations of unfamiliar homes.

Working with Calder Bateman’s amazing team, we had to strategically select the featured ticket-buyers to ensure the most engaging emotional response possible. The challenge however, was finding those who were ready and willing to allow a film crew into the privacy of their homes to share an intimate moment.

To build off of the success of last year’s videos.

Our team along with Calder Bateman wanted to pick up where we left off, featuring real patients, sharing personal stories of the ways in which the generosity of ticket-buyers of the Full House Lottery (FHL) had impacted their lives.

A priority this year was to tell a bigger, broader story of the impact that the Full House Lottery has had over the last 25 years. The idea was to feature a diverse range of ticket-buyers to create a sense of the longevity of FHL’s impact.

Because these videos would be displayed on several different platforms including broadcast, web and social media, our deliverables would consist of;

2 x 2 min. videos for web distribution

4 x 30 sec. cuts (PSA and non-PSA versions)

4 x 15 sec. cuts (PSA and non-PSA versions)

To secure the most suitable cast for the desired results as well as ensuring our team was prepared for the unpredictable.

As it was our second year producing this sort of content for the Full House Lottery, our approach would remain relatively similar. We were confident in the framework of what this project should look like which allowed us to enter into it with great ease. With an incredible crew, we felt strongly in our ability to setup each shot without disrupting the natural flow of the encounter.

However, always looking for new opportunities for growth in each project, our approach this year would involve building on success measures to ensure the widest reach possible of the final product. Given the fact that our previous videos had long runs on broadcast television, we wanted to maximize this exposure to the best of our abilities. This would mean continuing to work with Calder Bateman to track the analytics of our videos.

Broadcast:

The experience proved to be that much more successful in that each ticket-buyer appeared genuinely moved by their visit with our patients. Being able to connect the dots and see how their money spent has personally affected someone’s life brought about a well of emotions. It was a touching few days of shooting that really showcased how generous and compassionate Edmontonians can be.
