LEIKA WATANABE WONG

Finally getting around to posting some stills and clips from Before Anyone Else, a sitcom directed by @sammibarrett :) We built an Irish pub on a sound stage from the ground up and I had a lot of fun creating high key lighting! Got to shoot with a 2 camera setup, Alexa Minis with Angenieux EZs.

Happy to share some stills from 5 Stars! After years of friendship, I finally got to shoot something for @katiedovan :) Since 95% of the script took place in the car and we couldn’t afford a process trailer, we got a lil creative. All stills except for the last 2 at the end were on a stage utilizing rear projection. Spent hours hanging out the side of a car getting plates to project for every possible angle we wanted the camera to face! Special thanks to @amyvvincent @sonycine and @keleneke for gifting a Sony Venice so we could utilize Rialto mode in the car to save space!
