Behind the scenes video with Unleashed Productions


This is the behind the scenes video of  a commercial we created for Pet Botanics’ grain free dog food.  A lot of creative teamwork went into  this fun commercial / brand video and we couldn’t have done it without our friend the talented musician Justus Dobrin from 9Dragon Studios. With a fantastic fun talented team and a lot of love for animals and the environment this fun project was made possible in a very short time.  No corners were cut creating this sustainable video because environmental video production is something we take very seriously. Placing a lot of thought on greening the set, making the commercial / brand video have a deep message to impact further than just promoting the product is something we proudly bring to the table.

In this commercial for Pet Botanics, we wanted to ensure we had rescue dogs on set and not just the standard actor dogs. We brought on: GoalZero for solar power, Kombucha Dog that revives the immune system and rescues dogs and Dylan Kendall‘s vegan pet products. We composted all our plant based foods, made by Chef Rawsheed, to a local worm farm. We used eco poop bags made out of vegetables by Earthrated. It was filmed at a real recording studio in Burbank California, Clear lake Recording Studios. Headphones for the dogs were N-tune headphones by Monster Products and the lovable dogs came from Second hand soul animal rescue. It was a team effort and we are lucky to have such a kick ass team.
