Before the video even begins you have to figure out the details. One of the key details was to find location(s) to film at. I was fortunate that I was living in the area of Nimman and knew some potential spots. I met with my client and actor at the Kaweh cafe. During this meeting we discussed the script, video, and agreed on good locations for the video. We also met with the owners at Kaweh and Libarista to schedule a time to shoot the video. We decided to film at 8am for the first location and 10am for the second location. This was a quieter time in Chiang Mai so we wouldn't disrupt regular business. It's super essential to scout the locations you will be shooting in beforehand. I examine the space for it's lighting conditions, best place to film in that space, and figure our how to best record the sound. The time of day affects the natural lighting. I opted to film near the window to benefit form the natural light at that time of day.

Since this was a corporate video shoot there were some specific things that I needed to adhere to while keeping some room for creativity. For example, there were some specific scenes we needed to get with Payoneer's product in it. I also studied many of their previous videos to get a feel of the style they wanted. I also had to take some photo stills with the subject in the location we filmed. I was also given some payoneer files to create a customized intro for them.
