Hachimaki Review
Create a video review of a unique product: a custom hachimaki headband, used for martial arts and studying.
The Challenge
I scripted the beginning of the video to seem like a typical review video made with B-roll and straightforward voiceover, then suddenly interrupted this atmosphere with a more lighthearted and fast-paced fight scene. The actor portraying the antagonist was labelled with the word for "distractions" to signify the battle between the wearer of the headband and the obstacles keeping her from completing her work. The voiceover and lip movements were also mismatched as a comedic reference to foreign language martial arts movies. The video ends with a translation of the kanji characters on the headband.
