Client Request
The agency wanted a promotional video to sell future group tours to Uganda.
The goal was not only to promote the destination, but also to:
- Overcome hesitation and fear
- Show that Uganda is safe and organized
- Present safari experiences clearly
- Excite both new and existing clients
- Generate interest for upcoming departures
The client provided many hours of archive footage from previous trips — both horizontal and vertical material — without a defined structure.
What We Delivered
This project required full archive review, strategic scripting, and structured reconstruction.

- Analyzed and organized all available material
- Selected primarily horizontal footage suitable for YouTube
- Identified strong safari, landscape, and group moments
- Defined a clear promotional direction
After reviewing the archive, we created a structured script based on what the footage realistically allowed.
The narrative was built around:
