Scouting informs our Creative Strategy
Tech scout sits mid-July so the rest of pre-pro is informed by what we see on the ground. Director, DP, Producer, and Client walk every location together. Findings feed directly into the shotlist & shooting schedule. Capture reference angles, with stand in poses.
Day 1 follows the light across three locations. Day 2 holds one location for ten hours.
Times are working estimates pending final scout. Day 1 schedule chases the four day-parts the narrative needs. Day 2 sequences the five registers for clean coverage volume.
Delivered media RAW and transcodes.
All footage offloaded, verified, and transcoded by Jul 30. Editorial handoff package delivered Aug 1. Geist remains available through the edit and final color pass.
Recent capture · cinematic, brand-aware, water-fluent.
Previous clients include; Nike, Versace, Fred Segal, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Levi's, Gentle Monster, The Webster & L'Officiel
