Story Productions has years of experience shooting in the "marvellous city" (as it's known in Brazil), from feature films to news reports and major sporting events, and so German production company Ultimate TV rang us when they needed Brazil-based videographers to plan, produce and edit a 15-minute educational film about Rio de Janeiro for the German public school network.
The shoot took place earlier this year , and the post-production is now complete. We'll be able to share the finished film with you in the coming months but in the meantime read our case study about the project. From the creative challenge of making an educational video engaging for youngsters to the logistical challenges of a shoot in Rio in the run-up to Carnaval, we delve into the behind-the-scenes details of the work that went into this production. And when all the work is done and dusted, there's nothing more gratifying than getting good feedback from the client:
“I knew Story Production from previous projects for other clients and I was sure that they would be the perfect partner for this project. In the end, we produced a wonderful video about life in Rio de Janeiro. This really is a masterpiece of educational TV. Story Productions came up with good ideas for concept development and it was extremely helpful that they knew the local situation so well. The quality of the pictures was extraordinary – creative, innovative and with a beautiful aesthetic. Despite the time difference to Europe, the communication ran smoothly and working with Story Production was really easy and enjoyable. Thanks to Nick Story and his great team.”
