Creating engaging video content is more than just capturing images; it is about showcasing the delightful experiences offered at places like Custard and Creams, a charming dessert parlour. Empvis Media embarked on a rewarding journey with Custard and Creams to produce enticing short video clips designed for social media platforms. In this post, we will guide you through the video production process, from our initial meeting to the final product, detailing each stage along the way.
Initial Meeting and Proposal
Our journey kicked off with an exciting meeting between Empvis Media and the Custard and Creams team. This vibrant discussion was filled with passion, as the owners articulated their vision of expanding their digital presence. They wanted to introduce their fantastic desserts to a broader audience through the power of video storytelling.
Empvis Media proposed a series of short, engaging clips that would capture the essence of Custard and Creams. These videos would highlight the variety of signature desserts, the warm atmosphere of the parlour, and the dedicated people behind the scenes. For example, we envisioned a series of clips featuring their most popular items, such as the luscious chocolate tart, which customers rave about.
Pre-Production Stage
Concept Development
With the proposal accepted, we moved into the concept development phase. Brainstorming sessions with the Custard and Creams team helped crystallize our ideas. The focus was on creating a 'day in the life' narrative that offers viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how their favorite desserts are prepared.
For instance, we highlighted the making of their favoured Oreo waffles dish, showcasing the process from mixing fresh ingredients to the final artistic touches. Our goal was to evoke feelings of joy and indulgence, enticing potential customers to visit the parlour.
Storyboarding
Next, we transformed our concepts into a storyboard, creating a visual plan for each scene. This detailed roadmap included camera angles, lighting setups, and key moments to capture. We outlined highlights such as the freshness of ingredients and the joy on customers’ faces as they savored their desserts.
Scheduling and Logistics
Careful scheduling was essential to keep the project on track. We worked closely with Custard and Creams to choose filming times that would minimize any disruption to their daily operations. We also prepared a detailed checklist of the equipment we would need, ensuring everything from cameras to lighting was ready for shoot day.

Excitement filled the air on shoot day as the Empvis Media arrived at Custard and Creams. After setting up cameras, lighting, and sound equipment, we started capturing the magic of dessert creation.
We filmed close-up shots of chocolate being drizzled over a freshly baked crepes, which illustrated the artistry behind the scenes.
Throughout the day, we recorded various scenes, from the mixing of ingredients to the final presentation of beautifully decorated desserts. Each shot reflected the artistry and love that Custard and Creams infused into every treat.

Editing
Following the shoot, we entered the editing phase. Our editors meticulously sorted through hours of footage to find the most compelling clips. They arranged these clips to weave together a cohesive narrative that resonated with our audience.
The background music chosen not only fits the theme but also enhances the viewing experience. A light, upbeat track paired perfectly with scenes showcasing joyful customers indulging in desserts.
Reviewing and Finalizing
Once we completed our initial edit, we shared the previews with the Custard and Creams team for feedback. This collaboration ensured their brand voice remained at the forefront of the final product. After incorporating their valuable suggestions, we finalized the videos. Vibrant color grading techniques were applied to capture the cheerful atmosphere of the dessert parlour, resulting in a polished finish.
Release and Distribution
With the videos completed, we handed them over to Custard and Creams for their exciting reveal on social media. Our aim was to not only showcase their delicious offerings but also to attract customers looking for their next sweet treat.
The warm, inviting clips illustrated joy and community, highlighting the adventurous spirit of Custard and Creams either through plunging into a creamy tiramisu or sharing a chocolate mousse with friends.
