A client visit, told as a story
In June 2025, a representative from Clarion Insurance visited one of their clients Lisa’s Clarinet Shop and we were there to document the whole thing. Clarion specializes in insurance built for musicians and the music industry, protecting instruments against risks like fire, theft, and damage. Rather than a scripted ad, the brief called for something more genuine: capture a real conversation between an insurer and the shop it protects, and shape it into a long-form YouTube film worth watching to the end.
Covering the meeting, then building the film
We covered the full walkthrough and meeting on the day, then carried the project through post. The edit was the real work: a 10-minute film lives or dies on rhythm, so every cut was made to keep the conversation moving, with engaging visuals of the shop, the instruments, and the people layered against the dialogue. Audio was professionally treated in post essential for a talk-driven piece and the whole film was color graded for a warm, consistent look. The final video was exported in 4K and delivered within two weeks of the shoot.
Long-form video that people actually finish
Ten minutes is a long time to hold attention, which is exactly why this format works when it’s done right. Long-form branded video gives a company room to explain what it actually does and who it serves — closer to a documentary than an ad, and far more persuasive for it. For a niche B2B audience like musicians and instrument dealers, this kind of brand film builds credibility that a 30-second spot can’t touch.
