Tool was fortunate enough to have goodboybob, a coffee shop + wine bar that is open to the public, on site at their main office. As we all social-distanced during the Spring of 2020, we wanted to satisfy a need for a few distinct things.
We really missed social gatherings with our clients, we wanted to elevate the types of live virtual experiences that we were seeing, and to re-invent the dining experience. And most of all, we wanted to show brands what could be accomplished with talent in separate locations, with simple production setups and by managing a live-stream remotely.
Tool has a 10 year history of producing complex, interactive live-stream productions with highly technical production requirements, so we were excited to see what can be accomplished in a time of social distancing.
We chose to use simple camera setups, talent in different locations, and leveraged a number of simple production enhancements for our execution of the virtual dinner.
We also included a graphics package that had lower thirds, title cards and end cards to introduce talent, establish ingredients for viewers and create a seamless end to end experience prior to and after the broadcast.
We structured our run of show to allow our dinner guests to all see and hear each other in the upfront gathering period, and then maintain the ability to interact via voice, once our Chef and Sommelier had begun the show. It was important to us that this format was interactive and that our guests could engage with our talent in real- time to ask questions and create a social dining experience.
