"The agency wanted all of these characters singing a unique song where the only lyric was the word chicken. Due to new regulations in the UK, we weren't allowed to show the food being prepared or consumed, so we really had to make this song stand out and be infectious. The second most challenging aspect was that this needed to be shot in one day alongside a ton of photography that was happening simultaneously. It was important to me that the actors were also singing the song and on time so everything had to be meticulously planned out days beforehand." - Director

Tech Specs:
We shot almost the entire spot using the ARRI Alexa 35 and a set of TLS rehoused Zeiss Super Speeds. There's one shot, a close up of the delivery driver walking through the glass door that was shot using the Nikon ZR and the 85mm Zeiss Super Speed.
Budget: Over $50k
