Smovengo Commercial

Winter time in Paris, you may think is really romantic, but in fact it is really cold. This documentary/commercial was shot in two days, in which we followed one person per department, so to understand how the whole process works.

Again here it was a gorilla style of a shoot, where the whole crew was just me and the director, and a few light sources.

It was a huge challenge to keep it cinematic, due to the fact that all of the people that we were filming were working at the same time. So basically I couldn’t go and say “hey could you are we do that so I can place my lights”. I always needed to be prepared beforehand, see where my lights are coming from and understand how to enhance it with the lighting sources I had, so it could be flexible and cinematic.

Huge thanks to all the crew and people that were involved!
