Sanford Brand Campaign
Sanford images and video represent the overarching Sanford Health brand to the public. Images and video are typically patient-focused lifestyle visuals with a light and airy feel, shallow depth-of-field, neutral contrast and color, and simple uncluttered backgrounds. The mood is upbeat, approachable and friendly.
Location
Simple backgrounds such as generic community settings and warm home interiors
Lighting
Ambient light or created light done in a style that mimics natural ambient light
Talent
Models are hired with hair and make-up styled on set in a natural, everyday look. Wardrobe is solid colors or simple patterns, non-branded, with an everyday look.
Camera
For video, multiple cameras may be used along with a slider, drone or hand-held camera for added movement. For photos, a combination of wide, medium and close-up shots are taken. Shallow depth-of-field for both video and photo with focus on the patient subject. Subjects are smiling, happy and enjoying life.
Sound
Natural sound is captured during filming; voice-over or on-camera lines recorded for post-production editing
Post
Toning is natural and realistic with medium contrast. Images are Photoshopped to remove distracting elements. Music track is upbeat and inspirational, sometimes driving, depending on the content. Music and complementary graphics align with the look and feel of the video; they also take into consideration the overall strategy of the project including, but not limited to, digital strategy and where the final video will live. The editor will also collaborate with designers for cohesive execution on campaign pieces.
Service-line Specific Campaign
Images and video for a service have the same feel and mood of the parent brand campaign, but done with more specific considerations of the service line location and message.
