Rollo

"The obvious challenge of this spot was how best to capture the energy and movement of the skating. The story is all about the ease in which our lead character can skate to work so it would be made on how well we could capture the fluidity and simplicity of this, keep it interesting and action-packed. Combined with a large range of locations shot over 2 days in Cape Town, it became a bit of a challenge to try to keep the lighting and time of day continuity throughout production." - DP @bencotgrove Sky Business Mobile 'Keep Rollin' Director.
