The Goal︎

I wanted to make the aesthetic of this video reminscent of a lounge video.  My main inspirations for this video were cooking channels on Youtube like Binging with Babash and Bob Ross painting tutorials. The goal was to create a warm, relaxed, inviting environment for people who are now to alcohol culture and were curious about the process.

The Concept︎

I chose to film this video in my childhood home, in front of my brother’s bar cart containing all the liquor used in the video. My brother has shown me the basics when it comes to mixed drinks, and I have learned to take those concepts and make my own drinks. The primary goal of this video is to show someone who is unfamiliar with the world of mixing cocktails. The recipe that I chose is fairly simple, and requires a few ingredients that are relatively inexpensive. This was to avoid alienating anyone who had little to no alcohol knowledge. As someone who was once scared about trying alcohol unprepared, I know that it can be overwhelming without a proper introduction.
