The second DeVono shoot was designed to showcase London’s financial districts and we would be filming from a car, from the DLR train network, from the top of building and on London Bridge during rush house. This should have sent alarm bells – London, rush hour, car – danger! But the end of the day’s shooting our car would be in a police impound with me facing driving charges.
A tough job but some one had to do it. In fact two people, Obi Mgbado and Malte Huebner. Shot exclusively on the Olympus i-SPEED, the film was an artistic collaboration between Parisian music producer Von-D and model Victoria Moore. The two were brought together by Obi who saw an opportunity to create a music video that was sure to stand out.
What grabs your attention about the DeVono adverts, is the use of light and lens flare; getting it is not as easy as it seems.
Director Lucy Tcherniak, Deane, focus puller Ben and myself, all crammed into the small open-top car with our gear. To say it was a tight squeeze would be an understatement.
The Dodgeball VS film was shot in one day, and that’s no easy feat. With a big crew and a tight production schedule, we quickly found that the odds were stacked against us.
The scene was set, we were shooting inside a former shoe factory in East London’s Hackney Wick. The location was dark, atmospheric and perfect for lighting. Olympus donated three of their i-SPEED units as well as a 3D i-SPEED rig. This allowed the crew to work much faster but also made for a large and complicated production.
This commercial was a chance to push the i-SPEED to another level. Co-directed by Paul Bryan and Obi Mgbado and with the help of a few little FX magic tricks, this film delivers on everything it promises. Here’s how we did it.
The OMC were commissioned to create a series of films using the new unreleased Olympus i-SPEED camera ahead of its launch at NAB 2011 – Las Vegas. The aim of the project was to demonstrate the camera’s new features through the use of colour, energy and movement.
