Official production partner for Melbourne Fashion Week 2022.
Long Story Short was engaged by the City of Melbourne to oversee the end-to-end creative development and production of official video content for M/FW 2022.
For the second year in a row, LSS was the official event production partner for Melbourne Fashion Week 2022. The goal for videography was to create short yet engaging video reels which captured the overall mood and setting unique to each runway. This included managing a hand-picked team of videographers across 10+ shows over the week. We began with the development of creative concepts for each reel, in particular, deciding on video treatments and shot lists or sequences. On the day of the show, the LSS team ensured our videographers were adequately briefed and always in the right place at the right time. Destined for the M/FW Instagram page, assets were edited and delivered with a tight next-day turnaround.
