Nikka City Shakedown

NIKKA CITY SHAKEDOWN

About

A trip around the world to discover the best sips, cities, and sights in 5 episodes.


Each bartender showed their favourite spots in their respective cities, before heading back to their own bars to create a delicious cocktail.

Strategy

This project was exciting to work on as it presented the challenge of creating a complex narrative with continuity across 5 episodes, all filmed in different locations, at different times and with different talent.


The succesful result was achieved through careful planning (including consistent scripting and shot lists); maintaining a consistent video structure and editing style.
