The Brief

A Branding Video for Chef Dave Sargent

Chef Sargent is one of Cornwall’s leading private chefs, making outstanding culinary delights using the finest ingredients. His clients include party hosts, visitors to Cornwall and those looking for a romantic treat. We were tasked with making a video which showed off his culinary prowess to further engage existing clients, as well as to bring a whole glut of new ones.

The Branding Video Process

Supported by a suite of social content a brand video is a powerful statement for any business’ website – it will be the first click for visitors and a main source of information and insight into who you are and what you do. We pitched a video that combined a unique point of view filing approach with stunning shots of his prep and ingredients sourcing. But that was not all. To maximise Dave’s return on investment, we also pitched a series of video headers for his new website, social edits and a BTS edit for his rapidly growing TikTok presence.

The process

We started by getting to know Dave and his business aims. Once we knew this, we began to plan the brand video and suggested our thoughts for the best course of action. The key is capturing people’s imaginations right at the start, whether that’s with a soundbite and testimonial or a subtle sound effect. We then created a storyboard so that every aspect has been considered and everyone is on-board with the plan. Then we shot the film, edited, processed and created the incredible branding video you see today!

Funny Moments

Walking around parts of Cornwall and trying to eat food all while wearing a massive custom-built camera rig is something of a challenge. But our Creative Director, who was tasked with wearing the rig, handled it like the pro he is.

Bumps in the Road

There was one thing we couldn’t predict, the Queens Funeral. Two back-to-back days of shooting were planned that then fell on the same weekend as the funeral, meaning we had to move the shoot. With Dave’s packed diary, this meant moving it by nearly two months – we had to change our approach to the outdoor scenes to work with the cooler season.

What is a Branding Video?

 A branding video focuses on your brand and explains why and how you got to where you are today. A good branding video underpins your brand’s ethos, whilst welcoming clients new and old to become more engaged with the brand. Sometimes these can take the form of an introductory video or interview, but using a mix of creativity and expert storytelling means that Bull & Wolf come up with ingenious ways of translating your brand to the masses, every single time.

Does Your Brand Need a Video?

If you want to show off your skills and shine a spotlight on your brand, a branding video is the best way of doing this. Communicating your core selling points using the medium of video can be an incredibly impactful way of gaining new followers, luring new customers and telling your story in a professional and memorable way.
