Background

Orgain is looking for a set of TikTok videos that could hit different ideas like the ones below, but these are just functional thought starters and they're open to new ideas. Think about how popular music or catchy tracks could be integrated into these ideas. Please also check out TikTok's community center for more inspiration.


Objectives

Orgain is looking to grow their TikTok channel organically by creating fun and sharable videos. We're looking for individuals well versed in the food/nutrition, health, fitness/exercise, wellness categories, who could jump on current trends quickly, and who understand how to shoot (and edit!) for TikTok. 


For this project, we're looking for four different filmmakers who can simultaneously create a suite of 4 live-action in-feed videos, each up to :30 in length. Although they should feature Orgain products, these videos aren't meant to be ad content, and the goal really is to create something fun that leverages existing TikTok trends. Allmost all trending TikTok formats make clever use of filmmaking tricks and the vertical format, uses particularly engaging and charismatic but authentic talent, and tries to bring music into the foreground through synchronized cuts or actions, so we'll definitely want to hear about your approach and creative ideas in your pitch! Since this content will begin rolling out in January, it is also important to keep New Year resolutions in mind, as they often revolve around physical and mental wellness (which is what Orgain's all about). 


The brand is also looking for a variety of different TikTok trends and formats, so your videos shouldn't all follow the exact same TikTok trend, but they're open to almost any style or format that's currently trending on TikTok. To give you a sense of what we mean, we've provided some thought starters in the Background based on current trending videos. If it makes sense within the structure of your ideas, you can use the same talent and the same locations for all of your videos. You may also incorporate some motion graphics or animation, but it must feel natural to TikTok. 


In your pitch treatment, please let us know how you would approach the whole suite of 4 videos. Some of your videos can be based on the provided thought-starters, but you should still provide your own creative spin on things. Check out more information in Background, and for any questions or other project updates, check out the Project Forum.

By participating in this project, creators acknowledge that the Sponsor is under no obligation to greenlight a submission. Though most projects on our platform do move forward, we will notify you in the event the Sponsor decides not to fund any submissions via the project forum. Regardless of the result, all submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by the Sponsor and the project team.

 

Shooting live action or stop motion? Our priority is ensuring everyone's safety, and we're now requiring a COVID safety protocol plan for all relevant productions. Please review our COVID-19 Production Safety Guide and check federal, state, and local rules before and during your shoot to make sure your on-set protocols are up to date. We're working hard to keep people working during this extraordinary time, and you should ensure your submission is executable within the anticipated timeline and budget, while also ensuring everyone's safety.
