MAMEE NOODLE SNACK  ‘Christy Ng’

Fun, fun, fun.  This board, from Agency M&C Saatchi, involved playful moments mixed with some serious fashion visuals.  Working with Lightflux Productions, we shot everything in Studio 2117, dressed up the existing dressing area for celebrity entrepreneur Christy Ng & propped up another one for Mamee Monster – making it look & feel quirky – & the rest was covered against a white giant limbo background for the ‘photoshoot’ session.  The tricky part was to incorporate a Monster stand-in wearing in a blue suit & having to act with Christy.  Camera had to be as steady/static as possible, as due to time constraints, WAU animation wouldn’t have had time to animate & track Monster into the shots if there were too many movements.  Hence, we covered additional shots of Christy posing on the fly, with our DPs Oscar Tong & Matthew moving in & out of the scenes with the handheld DJI gimbals.  This was also the first time that I had shot using the Verstiscope format, with anamorphic lenses to ease our burden in framing for both 9:16 x 16:9.  It was a real gamechanger.  We used the Kinefinity Mavo 6k camera, together with the Insta360 X4 to capture 360° lighting info for the Monster.  Full post by DeTouche, edited by Gerard, color graded by Safuan, Online by Jiun.
