    uniE608 Gemo TV Commercial featuring Gong Li (China)
    Commercial for GEMO featuring Gong Li. We shot this just outside Paris using 2 Red Monstros, a Red Komodo (on a gimbal) and Cooke Panchro/i Classic FF lenses. I love the Large Format look so chose to shoot this commercial using Red Monstros and as we have limited time with Gong Li, went with a 2 camera shoot. Moreover with the large VV sensor I can get a much shallower depth of field as that was the look that the director and I wanted for the Medium and Close Up shots. The Red Komodo was only for select gimbal shots. I chose Cooke Panchro/i Classic FF for the lovely focus fall-off, creamy bokeh and lovely skin tones with a slightly warm colour rendition. I’ve always been a big fan of the Cooke Look. We had very limited time to shoot as we only had 2 days to shoot this commercial and we had to share Gong Li’s time with the still photography team that was shooting the scenes right after us. Moreover, I also had to share some of my large light fixtures with them so I could not re-light for the next scene/set-up while the stills team were shooting. Overall, I am pretty pleased with the project however, the director and I wanted a more contrasty and shadowed look, which is how I lit the commercial. Alas, that’s the world of commercials where clients and agency (especially in Asia/China) always want to see their celebrity’s face fully lit so some shots were heavily lifted in the grade making Gong Li look a little flat in several shots.

    uniE608 VP Bank “Diamond” TV Commercial (Vietnam)
    This is a commercial for VP Bank in Vietnam. VP bank wanted to feature their real clients and this lady is a well reputed designer in Vietnam. We shot this in a location that art department flipped to resemble the store owner's shop in Hanoi. For expediency, we shot this on 2 cameras, a RED Weapon Helium on a slider and a RED Epic-W on a Ronin 2. We used Zeiss superspeeds MKIII as the director and I like the organic, and slightly vintage look the lenses produced in addition to the slight softness that takes the edge off high-resoultion digital sensors.
