Our approach
Sometimes the best ideas and insights come during a coffee break – that was the initial premise that we developed for the Coffee Conversations series. We wanted to capture the energy and informality of sharing hot drinks and ideas on camera. To that end, we hired a presenter to act as interviewer and ringmaster. To inject visual interest into what was essentially a roundtable discussion, we hired a mobile coffee provider in each location and filmed outdoors. Thus the pop-up café was born! Coffee as a metaphor for conversation allowed for interesting shots and title sequences and gave a framework for a formatted series of films with a strong visual identity.
