    Retro Game Night and vintage take on the hang. Shot fully in studio including building and lighting the set. This project was a motion based commercial shoot I wrote and produced alongside some talented colleagues. I also captured stills simultaneously for high quality deliverables. This project helps to show my production capability to scale to the appropriate scope of work.
