Enter the scene, companies like Visionaery Productions, democratizing the world of video production, ensuring small businesses can share the stage with larger corporations.

Project Challenge
F'n K Tacos faced the challenge of effectively communicating its unique story and offerings to its target audience. As a fast-casual taco shop in downtown Rockford, Michigan, known for its California street-style tacos served on fresh corn tortillas, its appeal was apparent to those who walked through its doors. However, translating this experience and ambiance into a medium that could reach beyond its physical location was a hurdle they needed to overcome.
Having previously collaborated with Visionaery Productions in the creation of marketing videos for grand opening of their shop, the small business owners, Frank and Kaitlin Lamas, were impressed with the quality and impact of the work delivered. The success of the grand opening video led to the decision to entrust us with bringing their business story to life through video.
The team at Visionaery was both honored and excited to accept this challenge, ready to leverage our skills and experience to help F'n K Tacos broaden its reach to potential customers and solidify its presence in the local community through brand story videos.
Video Marketing Strategy Solution
F'n K Tacos, nestled in the heart of downtown Rockford, Michigan, was no stranger to the savory allure of California street-style tacos, a secret well known to every patron stepping inside. Yet, the challenge lay in capturing the essence of their fresh corn tortillas and vibrant ambiance to share with the world beyond their doors.
Enter Visionaery Productions, previously partners in the taco shop's buzzing grand opening video success. Frank and Kaitlin Lamas, the entrepreneurial spirits behind F'n K Tacos, knew firsthand the difference a well-crafted video could make. Impressed by the impact, they were eager to dive deeper into the details, entrusting Visionaery once more to weave the visual narrative of their business's journey and spirit.
With enthusiasm and a proven track record, Visionaery Productions embraced the challenge. Our mission? To extend F'n K Tacos' flavor-filled story far and wide, inviting a broader audience to not just hear about, but feel the pulse of this local gem, thereby strengthening its bond within the community through the power of storytelling.
Video Production Process
Pre-Production: Setting the Stage
Our adventure began the moment F'n K Tacos gave the green light. Diving into pre-production, we honed in on crafting questions that would reveal the heart of their story, while Nik Degraaf, a wizard with the camera and lighting, joined our crew.
Opting for the cinematic charm of Vintage Russian M42-Mount lenses and the versatility of the Canon C300 MK III and C70, we were on a quest for a visual feast. A thorough tech scout at the taco haven ensured we’d capture every detail, from the warm glow of the neon TACO sign to the bustling vibe of the shop, in the perfect light.
Production: Bringing the Story to Life
Filming unfolded over two focused days – one for the heart-to-heart interview in the taco shop’s welcoming front space, and another dedicated to gathering vibrant b-roll that echoed the essence of F'n K Tacos. Our lighting strategy overcame the challenge of natural light with a blend of Aputure lights, setting the stage for Frank and Kaitlin’s story to shine.
Audio captured the genuine tones of our taco maestros, while the lively atmosphere of the shop hummed in the background, adding a layer of authenticity. The interview peeled back layers, revealing the passions and principles that fuel F'n K Tacos, from their family roots to their unwavering commitment to quality and community.
