Takeda Entertainment Completes Corporate Documentary For gM

Scene from the year-long documentary produced for General Motors

This week, our crews are getting ready to fly to the Midwest to film the last chapter in an on-going corporate documentary for General Motors. Since October, we’ve been following the progress of Woody Buick GMC as they go through a fundamental change in their business model.

“I have some mixed emotions as we begin to shoot,” says director Scott Takeda. “When we first met the folks Team Woody, they were nervous to have us around and anxious to change to an appointment-based business. Twelve months later, everyone at the dealership has become friends, and the new business model is working. So I’m happy that they are successfull, but a little bit sad to be saying ‘farewell,'”

After we wrap, our creative team will begin the post production on the final film. This film along with earlier chapters will be shown in meetings early next year.

The agency of record is BI Worldwide, led by Dawn Martin (executive producer), Stacey Dagnault (executive producer), and Dayna Recchia (production manager). The rest of the team includes Colin Paolo (creative director), Takeda (director) , Lori Allred (writer), Brock Sherman (art director), Dave Dawson (cinematographer), Tom Abrams (field audio), Ryan Welborn (editor), Matthew Head (composer) and Zlatko Makic (post audio).
