EXAMPLES OF PRODUCTIONS
Social distancing couldn’t allow us to get closer than 2 meters from our actors so, in order to avoid any proximity or repetitive reset between props and actors, we chose to completely opt out of live action product shots and fully render it in 3D
SOLEIL DENAULT
TV shoot from late April, when production restrictions were first lifted here in Montreal. It was thrilling to be back in studio with a (limited) crew. Our clients and agency producer were all safely distanced by several time zones (Edmonton, Vancouver), and continuously connected to us via live feed.
