Design is making lifes better (Title)

Brief of gear? location?

The HK Fixer’s team arranged the reception and transfer of the crew to Macao, put together a team of award winning sound engineers, supplied a set of 3 Canon C300‘s, managed the location, guided B Roll and ensured all media were safely backed up for what turned to be an intensive and long sequence of DIT sessions. We were where the story was.

Diffulties /solution

And the skills of our producer were put to the test when an unexpected setback occurred. One of the main protagonist, Henri from Kenya, was denied entry to Macau, which created a lot of stress to the team: suddenly, a fifth of the story could lack its ending. What if Henri was the winner of the GSEA?

Within an hour, a solution was found that involved our producer flying with Henri to Beijing for an overnight stay, to return the next day to Macao and negotiate a successful entry. This was a challenging mission requiring quick thinking, finesse, negotiation skills and EQ. Our young Kenyan entrepreneur feeling like a shaken Jack Bauer in a “The Terminal” no man’s land-like space, not knowing whether he would make it to finals. And… it was story material too, so our producer, armed with his mobile phone, decided to turn this crisis into an opportunity, and documented the whole journey supplying the film with a dramatic scene.

Profit???

A successful mission for an important part of the film and our work on Disney+ and National Geographic. We are grateful to Muck Media and in particular to Jeffrey Plunkett who trusted us with this film production service mission.
