SOS on Your Wrist - Garmin’s first-ever watch with inReach life-saving technology.
Between location and character work, our crew in Vancouver was incredibly versatile to make each scene happen.
1. After a 4-hour Cessna scout, we found this Fjord on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast.
@downtofilm and
@brodyjonescinema lined up this reveal right after sunrise when the light was balanced.
2. We planned to shoot the stylized/delirious beats with the Canon FD 50mm f/0.95 Zack Snyder Dream Lens. Once tested, it was actually too clean for our look, so
@christopherclark___ built a custom 40mm lens for our moments of him on the ground.
3. Natural backlight paired with tube-of-death haze made this the perfect way to “spy in” on the runner, featuring his frantic POV.
4. This sequence is shot practically, in-camera and on location, without VFX.
@brendanmegannety created a handmade foam-core board, painted and dressed to match the land for the watch’s impact.
5.
@ethanmyers music and sound end us in the relief and magnitude of the rescue.
