During pre-production, our team worked closely with the client to develop a creative concept that aligned with their vision, while addressing logistical needs. In the end, this meticulous planning ensured a seamless execution across this two-day production.
This shoot required precision and expertise. We put together a six-member crew and employed a dual-camera setup to maximize efficiency. Additionally, we used a menace arm to extend our lighting over the cooking table for a cinematic look in both photo and video.
