Nuvei X Mercedes F1 “The DNA of Performance”
Featuring:
Drivers Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Team Principle Toto Wolff.
This was a really special shoot for me. I love my F1 and focus pulling a big sponsor video for Nuvei and Mercedes. What a great experience.
For the shoot we used two Arri 35 Cameras, shooting 2:1 anamorphic on the Viltrox Epic lenses.
As 1AC on the shoot, my job was to support the awesome
@halfordfilms the best I could in providing fast turnaround for our camera setups. Working with high profile talent can be a real struggle as plans can change, and you are only ever given a small window of time.
Shooting interviews, a piece to cameras, and B-roll/pac shots - required pit-stop like changes of our own. We planned and practiced our setup changes from two-cam interviews, to a floating eye-direct (teleprompter) setup, and then finally getting to the easyrig and or slider for closeups and 50fps shots of the helmets.
What really helped me on this shoot was the use of the
@arri companion app for A Cam/B Cam, and Hi-5 camera control. I could control runstop and see the status and settings of both cameras, ensuring we’re always matched up and ready to go. Running a reduced crew is always tough, but being able to give confidence to the dop and operator that both cameras have a second pair of eyes was reassuring, and kept the running of the day as smooth as possible.
Most importantly we all worked as a team and really smashed it. I’m really thankful to
