CALVIN KLEIN Social Shoots Europe

Kindly supported director Christopher Schoonover and client Calvin Klein’s multiple international run’n’gun shoot days with influencers in Berlin and Milan; shooting on the move at locations integral to their routines across their cities and neighborhoods. We needed to work remotely from the US, keeping in close contact with our production partners on-the-ground in both cities to release and schedule multiple locations and provide the production support, scheduling and equipment to achieve the required motion and stills assets for this social media campaign.

Case Study

Toyota 2021 Supra

Shooting stills of the 2021 Toyota Supra in LA. Challenge was to find unique locations that have not been overused and not too recognizable as LA while shooting a code red vehicle so locations needed to be highly secure. We shot on location in DTLA and also at a privately owned tuner garage, and warehouse. We also had the pleasure of working with celebrity talent, Cody Walker.

J. Crew Passion Project: Farm & Flour

Shot for J. Crew’s social media channels, this project marked the fifth shoot in this Passion Project series; partnering with J. Crew for their Wallace & Barnes line. After shooting four other crews in NY state, J. Crew decided to head to the west coast. With a light but very efficient team of locals, we shot one day with Farm & Flour in beautiful Benicia while the shop and very small bakery continued to be open for baking and business!

Royal Caribbean Navigator

Kindly provided production art buying services to clients. We bid out directors and photographers for the project. Worked with line producers from both stills and motion teams to ensure we were able to execute the creative while shooting on board the cruise ship. And worked as a liaison between the clients, the production teams, and also the ship to make sure all teams had what was needed to keep the shoot running smoothly!

Case Study

Toyota Supra Racetrack

Shooting stills and motion at a racetrack in Austin area. Challenges were securing location for highly sensitive code red shoot since the vehicle had not been launched yet. We provided 24/7 security at the location to minimize transporting the vehicles so there was less risk of exposure. Also finding solutions to shoot through rainy weather while at location since we could not move the cars due to code red concerns and could not postpone the shoot due to tight scheduling. We also had to cast for professional stunt drivers local to Austin who could drift.

Case Study

Toyota Supra – Morning Drive

Shooting stills and motion over a two week stretch, challenges on this shoot included shooting up to four picture cars at once on narrow winding roads with 60mph winds and limited-to-zero cell service! The shoot days were a mix of car-only and lifestyle with talent. Two days were dedicated to capturing motion with drone elements in this canyon in Southern California and finishing up stills in downtown Los Angeles – this one was a lot of fun!
