TRAFFiC EXPERiMENT : BLUE SUBURBiA

We collaborated with Traffic Experiment on this piece, so that we could completely fuse their stunning tracks with wonderful visuals, and to utilise both teams’ valuable inputs.  For each track change, we opted for similarly paced visual clips and themes, and transitioned them to follow the music.

Widely used in the hairdressing industry, they are one-use-only towels that are decidedly more cost-effective, hygienic and eco-friendly than cotton towels. They save on space and are clearly much better for the environment (no laundry costs!).  So it’s no surprise then, that they achieved ‘Winner of Innovation of the Year at the British Hairdressing Business Awards 2009′.

Here are some behind-the-scenes shots from our recent shoot.

‘Funky Portraits’ required contemporary camera moves, funky colour-grading, and quick-fire editing.

We used a skilled actress to play the part of the interviewee, however only minor storyboarding was used with the deliberate intention of keeping interview responses as natural as possible.

This film piece will be used by Oakleaf in group discussions and one-to-one scenarios, to help future job candidates enhance their own interview techniques.

Our glide-cam equipment enabled us to run through the woods,  and keep footage as smooth as possible.
