The final assets were delivered promptly on January 1, 2025, allowing Zuma Boston to share the video across their social media channels and digital marketing platforms.
THE CHALLENGE FROM ZUMA:
Zuma Boston, part of the internationally renowned Azumi Group, approached Bunker Hill Media to capture the energy of their exclusive New Year’s Eve celebration through video content. The challenge was to create a captivating 30-second highlight reel that would showcase the upscale ambiance, high-energy atmosphere, and exceptional dining experience synonymous with the Zuma brand.
This project required our team to work within a dynamic, live-event environment while ensuring every moment was captured with precision and artistry. The limited shoot time—between 9 PM and 1 AM—meant we had to maximize every second, balancing creative storytelling with technical excellence. The final video needed to reflect the luxurious aesthetic of Zuma Boston while engaging their target audience across social media and other digital platforms.
THE PRODUCTION AT ZUMA:
To meet Zuma Boston’s high standards and align with their global brand identity, Bunker Hill Media began with a detailed pre-production process. We collaborated with the Zuma team to define the creative direction, including the music selection, video transitions, and overall visual style. Together, we developed a comprehensive shot list to ensure that no key moments or details were overlooked.
On the night of the event, our team shot with two Sony FX3 cameras to capture the fun filled night from multiple perspectives. One camera was operated handheld, allowing for intimate and dynamic shots of the guests, décor, and entertainment. The second FX3 was mounted on the DJI Ronin RS2 gimbal, delivering smooth, cinematic footage of the event’s most captivating moments. This dual-camera setup enabled us to seamlessly capture the grandeur of the event while maintaining flexibility to adapt to the lively and unpredictable nature of a New Year’s Eve celebration.
The event itself was a feast for the senses, featuring elegant décor, live entertainment, and an energetic crowd. Our team worked discreetly to document these highlights, ensuring that the video authentically represented the luxury and excitement that define Zuma Boston.
Post-production involved careful selection and editing of the footage to craft a compelling 30-second highlight reel in 4K portrait orientation, optimized for social media platforms. We incorporated creative cuts and shots in a 24 hour turn around for this finalized content. After one round of revisions to ensure client satisfaction, the final product was ready for delivery.
Here’s what Hannah Elliott from Zuma is saying about Bunker Hill Media:
“Bunker Hill Media did an amazing job shooting for my restaurant's NYE party. He was super professional and made himself available ahead of the event for multiple briefing sessions/touch bases to discuss content needs. He followed the shot list and got all the content we needed. The video quality was SUPERB and the final video was delivered less than 24 hours after the event. Nothing but great things to say about Bunker Hill Media - we will definitely be using again!”
