Create a :30 live action video that raises awareness about the effectiveness of Luminas pain relief patches.

The goal of this project is to create a :30 live action YouTube TrueView for action video for Luminas pain relief patches. Luminas pain relief patches utilize a breakthrough medical technology that actively helps eliminate inflammation as it is caused, allowing the user to experience quicker pain relief and less inflammation. Whether it's your lower back, foot, hand, elbow, wrist, neck, knee or shoulder just apply a Luminas patch to the body area where you are experiencing pain and wait for the relief to arrive.

DELIVERABLES: Four total deliverables:

• One :30 video (16x9)
• Three alternate :30 versions (16x9). Alternate variations will involve the same characters, locations, and script, and will mostly involve small changes that can be handled in post-production, including changes to CTAs, end-card designs, on-screen text copy, and other minor edits. Additionally, depending on where the creative lands, a version may include a slight variation to the script. This will be decided between the selected producer and client during scripting.

TIMELINE: For the full project timeline please see the Assets section.

EXPOSURE: YouTube. For YouTube TrueView for action best practices please click here. 

TARGET AUDIENCE:  People who deal with chronic pain and inflammation. These patches are not made for high profile athletes to wear during competition but rather more “at home” use: parents, grandparents, others.

 TONE: A sense of relief, uplifting, inspirational, hint at the futuristic technology within the patch.

EXECUTIONAL MANDATORIES: 

• Do not show wrinkled patch
• Video cannot portray any drugs or chemicals being used or in a person’s bloodstream
• Don’t show similar products together
• Call to action should be either "Learn More" or "Get Relief Now."

Our priority is ensuring everyone's safety, so please review our COVID-19 Production Safety Guide and check federal, state, and local rules before and during your shoot to make sure your on-set protocols are up to date. We’re working hard to keep people working during this extraordinary time, and our advice here is to make sure your submission is executable within the anticipated timeline, while also ensuring everyone's safety.

Luminas utilizes electron imprinting, a breakthrough medical technology that stores the electron signatures of natural anti-inflammatory constituents in capacitive materials. The energy stored in each patch is induced into the body through its own electrical conductance (known as the galvanic skin response).

• The patches are placed onto the body near areas that commonly experience inflammation. The patch actively helps eliminate inflammation as it is caused, allowing the user to experience quicker pain relief and less inflammation.
• Lower back, foot/hand, elbow, wrist, neck, knee and shoulder are all great areas for the patches.

PRE-PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS: Prior to shooting, filmmakers must receive the below approvals from the Sponsor.

• SCRIPT: This project requires script approval before filmmakers move onto the Video Phase. The Sponsor may provide feedback on your script and ask you to submit a new version. There may be multiple rounds of feedback until a script is approved by the Sponsor. 
• HEADSHOT: This project requires headshot approval before filmmakers move onto the Video Phase. You must submit at least two actor options per role. If the Sponsor does not approve either of your options for a role, you may be asked to submit two new actor options. Tongal advocates for inclusivity in on-screen representation and diversity in casting. As a best practice, please submit three to four options per role with at least one of those options being a person of color.
• LOCATION: This project requires location approval before filmmakers move onto the Video Phase. This means you will need to submit multiple images of your primary filming location. The Sponsor may provide feedback on your location and ask you to submit additional photos or to find a new location and submit images for that.
• WARDROBE: This project requires wardrobe approval before filmmakers move onto the Video Phase. You will need to submit descriptions and/or pictures of your cast’s wardrobe. You must submit at least two wardrobe options per role. If the Sponsor does not approve either of your options for a role, you may be asked to submit two new wardrobe options.

For your convenience, we’ve provided some helpful templates to use at your discretion.

Additionally, there are templates that will help you clearly present cast, location, and wardrobe options to the Sponsor. They can all be accessed here.
