Maui Brand Film: Valley Island Kombucha — Promo Commercial by OneWave Media House
Behind the Scenes of Our Latest Commercial Production
When a beloved local brand wants to tell its story through cinema, that’s where we shine. This case-study pulls back the curtain on our latest work: the promo commercial for Valley Island Kombucha — a Maui-based artisan kombucha maker. The video captures the essence of island-life refreshment, craftsmanship, and the laid-back Hawaiʻi vibe, while delivering a polished, brand-worthy film that helps Valley Island stand out.
The Vision: Why Valley Island Kombucha, and What We Aimed to Capture
Valley Island Kombucha approached us to create a promo commercial that felt authentic, vibrant, and rooted in Hawaiʻi — not just another stock-brand video.
The goal was to reflect the brand’s dedication to natural ingredients and handcrafted quality.
We aimed to evoke a sense of island freshness: beaches, tropical light, natural landscapes — but with a refined, cinematic aesthetic.
Our vision was to combine lifestyle imagery and product-focus, giving viewers both emotion and trust: “This is local. This is real. This is quality.”
Our Production Workflow: From Concept to Final Cut 🎬
Here’s how we brought this commercial to life — a full breakdown of our creative process:
Pre-Production & Planning
Client meeting to understand brand values, tone, and target audience
Location scouting — choosing sites around Maui that evoke organic, natural vibes
Storyboarding and shot-list creation — balancing lifestyle shots, product close-ups, and b-roll
Production (On-Location Filming)
Filmed on location in Maui to capture authentic light and environment
Mixed handheld footage and stabilized shots (drone / gimbal / sliders) for cinematic feel
Captured lifestyle moments — pouring kombucha, family / friends enjoying the drink, island scenery, aloha lifestyle vibes
Post-Production & Color Grading
Edited footage to balance storytelling and product focus — rhythm, pacing, and vibe matter
Graded visuals to enhance natural colors: lush greens, warm golden-hour tones, turquoise ocean hues — giving the film that trademark Hawaiʻi warmth
Audio design and sound mixing: ambient island sounds, subtle SFX, soundtrack that supports the brand’s mood
Deliverables & Client Value
A full-length commercial video optimized for web, social, and pitch usage
Short cuts / teasers (for social media, reels, stories) — making content re-usable across platforms
A visual identity for Valley Island Kombucha that matches their brand ethos — handcrafted, local, premium
A story-driven narrative that connects consumers emotionally to the kombucha — not just product marketing
The final result is more than just a promo — it’s a cinematic brand experience that conveys value, trust, and aloha.
