Case study brief

The client

Golden Bay Honey & Beehive Tours is a small, family-run honey farm on Highway 44, just east of Beausejour, run by Cindy and David Buss. Their hands-on tours put families, schools and groups in protective suits and up close to an active, live hive, from spring to August.

The brief

Capture the farm and the tour experience on film, so viewers could see what a visit to Golden Bay actually feels like.

Our approach

Denis Ankrah directed and shot the film. We built it around David, with a sit-down interview in the bee yard as the story's thread, and then went into the tour itself:

Aerial views of the bee yard and its rows of hives
Real tour moments: guests suited up at the hives and frames of comb lifted close
Honey tasting and beeswax candle rolling with visiting families
Guest interviews, so visitors tell the story in their own words
Close-up detail of bees on the comb, and the honey itself, from frame to jar

In the edit we shaped it into a four-minute documentary, then graded it to keep the warm, natural feel of a summer day on the farm.
