The Bucket List

Everyone who has traveled to Jordan knows the local catchphrase 'Welcome to Jordan'. We wanted to create a video that embodied that principle, it had to feel warm, welcoming and fresh. The Film Guys produced this video from the very ground up. We wrote and rewrote the text so that every syllable was carefully planned. We couldn't find an appropriate soundtrack for the video, so the one you hear was composed, performed and recorded by Rob himself, along with Nairuz al-Ajlouni.

We typically have three days to come up with the full, completed script of a video that will meet the commandments. Three days, otherwise we make Alesi’s job much harder. Each day we take for writing takes one day from her production planning. The relationship has a perfect pressurised balance. Pressurised, indeed, because each day I don’t deliver a script is added pressure to the creative process that is already drowning in expectation.

The proof is in the pudding as they say. As of now, enquiries and applications are up 129% and 182% respectively as compared to the previous year. Video is simply a medium. For most, it does little. For those who use it right, it will make all the difference. We’re in the business of results. If you’re going to hire a film crew, you better hope to see return on your investment.

From a production perspective, this project was beyond extraordinary. Having to coordinate so many people, describe to them how to film, how to get good sound and how to send it to us all the while not personally knowing any of the senior class and doing it between three totally different timezones was, as the cliche has now come and gone, an “unprecedented circumstance”.
