Results

We weren't able to capture enough content in the session to complete an 8-minute one-day documentary at the standard we set, but we were able to pull high-quality screen grabs that Bandito Taqueria can use for their website or social media. We also created a 20-second Instagram reel and exported a horizontal version for their website’s homepage video.
