60,000,000 years in the making: Staggeringly Good Beer crowdfunding video

Portsmouth-based brewery Staggeringly Good make beer for ‘people who love dinosaurs’. This year (2018), they approached us to produce a video for their crowdfunding campaign. It had to incentivise their fans to invest in the brewery’s expansion, while capturing their unique brand of humour. And that’s how we found ourselves filming an American biker dude rolling around town on a beer-dispensing dinosaur fashioned from a mobility scooter.

If you’ve yet to see the 80s-tinged teaser view we created to build up hype for the campaign, now’s your chance:

Shooting the main video was incredibly fun. The first half features the TriceraTap riding past all the local independent businesses who Staggeringly Good have worked with over the years, culminating in an epic scene in which a brass band plays the Jurassic Park theme.

All the while, key details from the crowdfunder campaign appear over the action. The second half of the video features the Staggeringly Good crew further explaining what investor money would fund, and what they’d get in return.

We worked in collaboration with creative director Jeeves Williams on this project, across scriptwriting, planning, filming, editing, making the coffee, ordering the food, etc. We love a collaboration! We’ve also gotta shout out all the local businesses who got involved in production. Thank you!

Staggeringly Good are undoubtedly going places, but they’ll need your help to get there. Watch the crowdfunder video below, and then considering making a contribution.
