The making

Pre-production and Planning

To ensure the success of this ambitious project, extensive pre-production work was undertaken.

This scratch film served as a crucial tool in aligning all personnel involved, providing a clear visual and conceptual roadmap for the shoot day.

Innovations

The project was marked by several innovative approaches:

  • Unique Lighting: The lighting techniques used were one of a kind, only bounced and no direct source, designed to enhance the soft and slick futuristic theme of the video.
  • Special Equipment: The team utilized a Techno crane which is a specialized equipment to capture dynamic shots and create a visually stunning narrative.
  • Sound Design: An exceptional sound design was crafted to complement the visual elements, adding to the overall impact of the film.
  • Color Palette: The colors used in the video were meticulously chosen to reflect the futuristic essence of the Tata Nexon EV Prime.

Execution

The shooting process was meticulously planned and executed, with every detail being carefully considered. The pre-production efforts paid off as the entire team was on the same page, knowing exactly what needed to be achieved on shoot day. Despite the challenges, the team’s dedication and innovative spirit led to the creation of a remarkable film.

Outcome

The Tata Nexon EV Prime video was a resounding success, making a significant impact on the automotive industry. It received widespread acclaim, with clients from other brands reaching out to congratulate the team on their exceptional work. The industry was astonished by the quality and innovation of the video, often commenting that it did not look like it had been produced in India.

The hard part

One of the significant challenges faced during the production was the lighting. The approach to lighting was highly experimental and unprecedented in the industry. The team had to fight for the use of special equipment to achieve the desired visual effects, pushing the boundaries of what had been done before by us and in the automotive videography.
