WOW, thank you so much.
About the narrative, the commercial pretended to say "thank you" to the consumers, for that the client decided to not to show his products. In the first plan (and even we shoot it) we filmed a kind of "relation" in one of the stores, but as we were filming, the agency, the client and I were discovering elements of what the ad should represent and that scene was left out of the final piece.
Thank you for the comment about the quality. Here in Venezuela, we have great professionals, great actors, and beautiful locations, that helps a lot.
This commercial was produced by KoFilms, is one of the production companies with which I work as a director, apart from my own company with which I make most of my pieces. In this case, the team (including the photograph team) was about 35 people. The shooting was close to 10 hours because we had to move to different places for each sequence. The good part is that we planned it as a small camera crew, with almost no lights, everything portable and easy to move. So for a commercial that shooting time is almost a dream.
I cannot say the final cost of it because is not my company and IDK the final numbers, but being a low budget commercial it should be close to 3.5k $. It was almost 3 months ago, so now probably could be more.
Thank you again for all your comments and questions @glenalbrethsen
Take care
