Food & Beverage Brand Hero Video Production
Capture the feeling, not just the bottle
Clearly Canadian wanted a brand hero video that could do more than look good — it needed to feel like something. Their fanbase is deeply nostalgic and genuinely passionate about the brand, and the video had to earn that emotional connection rather than manufacture it. The brief came down to one thing: tie the product back to the country it's named after.
Watch the video
Shooting Canada, one landscape at a time
The video needed to do two jobs at once: showcase the product and root the brand firmly in Canadian landscape. That meant building a production that could move with the country instead of against it.
Letting the location lead
We shot across multiple regions to capture the range of Canadian scenery the brand has always traded on — mountain ranges, lakes, rivers, forests. Each location was scouted for how it would frame the bottle, not the other way around. The product had to feel like it belonged in the landscape, not like it was dropped into it.
Working with the weather, not against it
Shooting outdoors across seasons meant melting snow one week and a different ecosystem the next. Rather than fight the conditions, we built the shot list to take advantage of them. Changing light, water, and terrain became part of the visual story instead of obstacles to it.
Sound design as a second script
The video's emotional weight comes as much from what you hear as what you see. Every track, ambient layer, and transition was designed to pull viewers into the landscape and tie the feeling back to the product. The sound design ended up being recognized on its own (see below).
A video the fanbase actually felt
The final video became a core asset for Clearly Canadian, running across their website, social channels, trade show booths, and digital campaigns. It reconnected longtime fans with the nostalgia that built the brand and gave the team a single piece of creative they could lean on across every channel. Industry recognition followed.
