What is the key to product cinematography? This week we sit with commercial cinematographer and motion control supervisor Kazu Okuda who has shot spots for Elle, Vogue, Express, Omega, and a litany of product videos for brands like Dior, Hennessy, Chanel, and Oscar de la Renta.
High end product cinematography is one of the most difficult things to light. There are no happy accidents, you have only your skills and experience to make it look good. Kazu gives us some fundamental tips for creating high-end product cinematography with common filmmaking tools.
We also discuss why high-end commercial clients use motion control systems like the Bolt and how one can bring some of those techniques into their own projects.
