In the realm of hotel brand videos, there’s often a debate about whether to include a voiceover. Many times, narration isn’t necessary. However, a well-chosen poem can make a video truly stand out and be ready for use when the time is right.
One of our production team members stumbled upon a poem that seemed ideal for a future project. A few months later, we were tasked with filming at Essque Zalu in Zanzibar. After just a few hours on the property, we realised the poem was the perfect match for the visuals we were capturing. We presented the idea to the General Manager and Director of Sales and Marketing, and they both loved it.
Our next challenge was finding the right voice. By chance, at a tourism awards ceremony in Portugal, we overheard an American ordering a beer at the bar. His voice was exactly what we needed. We approached him, and the results are what you see here!
