Running hotel video production in Thailand, I was approached by the Motifs Eco Hotel, a unique property in Chanthaburi. The hotel, recognised for its sustainable and eco-friendly practices, needed a video to showcase its values and unique selling points. They wanted a video for their hotel TV systems, offering guests a look into what makes the Motifs Eco Hotel special.
After arrival at the hotel, I met the General and Marketing Managers. They walked me through the hotel's unique selling points and features they wanted to highlight in the hotel video. This included the hotel's commitment to sustainability, innovative architectural design (that minimises the need for air conditioning), and local supplies sourcing (which supports the regional economy and ensures freshness).
Next, I conducted the hotel inspection, taking note of its aesthetics, and identified the best angles for filming. This examination was crucial for the visual storytelling I planned to undertake.
The creative task was to build a narrative that seamlessly include all these elements together. My idea was to showcase a day in the life of both: an employee and a guest at the hotel. Starting with a hotel employee waking up early in the morning to source ingredients from the local market, the video then transitions to the chef who receives these fresh ingredients to prepare breakfast.
Parallel to this, the video shows a guest waking up in her room with a cup of tea, before descending for breakfast. The narrative then continues with the guest indulging in various activities like sightseeing in the city, having a picnic in a national park, and utilising the hotel's conference facilities.
This storyline was intended to highlight the hotel's dedication to local business and ecology, sustainable operations, and commitment to guest satisfaction.
The result was a compelling hotel video that showcases the essence of the Motifs Eco Hotel. The client was happy with the output, which adhered to their brief and also added a creative layer to their unique selling points.
