Our team had the opportunity to spend some time in Mulvane, Kansas, working with the city manager and mayor to capture the businesses, people, and characteristics that make their community unique.
the project was an opportunity to tell a story about a city through its attractions, local landmarks, and rich history. but like most projects, what happened on camera was only part of the story. this story started well before we even made the road trip.
one of the things we prioritized during pre-production was building an efficient, intentional schedule. with more than a dozen locations to cover, limited time, and a variety of scenes to capture, we wanted to make the most of every precious hour. we spent a lot of time working with the city staff deciding the best way to approach each individual location, where the sun would be during those time slots, and who all we could get to be in each scene.
