Produce two live event videos for Pinterest at a team offsite in New Orleans from March 31–April 2.
The goal of this project is to capture the activities at Pinterest's sales team offsite in New Orleans from March 31–April 2 in two sizzle videos. The event will take place over 3 days, with a variety of activities at different locations around the city.
One Tongal filmmaker will create two sizzle videos, each up to 3 minutes, capturing various parts of the offsite. One video will recap Day 1 of the offsite and will be due the same day to be looped on monitors during Day 2 of the event. You will need an on-site editor skilled at creating sizzles or event recap videos and able to work on a same-day delivery for this project. You will need to capture up to 3 interviews (led by an on-the-ground Pinterest rep) for the full event recap sizzle.
