Behind-the-Scenes: Building a Monochromatic World for Covered California
We’re thrilled to take you behind-the-scenes of our latest exciting project with Covered California. At MVP / Good People, we recently had the incredible opportunity to collaborate on Covered California’s new welcome video for newly enrolled members. This project was all about diving deep into their brand identity, with a monochromatic set designed entirely in their signature color—teal. Yes, you read that right—ALL. BLUE. EVERYTHING.
The challenge was not just to create a visually striking set, but to ensure it reflected Covered California’s brand essence seamlessly. With meticulous planning and creative flair, we transformed the studio at Ciel Creative Space into a teal wonderland. From the walls to the props, every detail was carefully curated to maintain the monochromatic aesthetic.
Our team, filled with #GoodPeople who are passionate about their craft, handled everything from conceptualization to post-production. This included producing both English and Spanish versions of the video, ensuring our message resonates with all audiences.
