Process
Ideation
Based on market research from the incredible TWOFIVESIX, Chariotdrive put together several creative concepts that were pitched to the client. This was refined and a selection was made. All work was outlined on a massive digital whiteboard.
Production
We knew with a small budget we had limited options so we opted to bring the production in house where we would be able to control all aspects of the shoot.
Footage was captured in 4K/UHD B-RAW using Blackmagic cameras.
Post Production
Editorial was done in Davinci Resolve which allowed a flexible workflow of compositing in Fusion and color grading in Resolve.
Testimonial
Nothing like a handwritten note of amazing thanks.
