Hpnotiq LLDO

Hpnotiq commissioned me to make a film documenting a day in LA for the winners of their Live Louder Dance Off competition. The winning girls were flown into LAX and then had dance lessons with Maksim Chmerkovskiy from Dancing With The Stars followed by makeovers at Eden Salon off Sunset Blvd; after this Hpnotiq flew them to Vegas to stay in the Hpnotiq suite with spending money etc.

Here is the Los Angeles video I directed, shot and cut:


It was a quick one day shoot with limited time at each location and no second takes so I went hand held for most of it with 5D MK III and L Series Zooms. The only time I was on sticks was for the mini-interviews with the girls after their makeovers.  MK III image comes out a little soft so I played with contrast and sharpening in post. Overall it was a fun shoot and the winning girls and Hpnotiq people were great to work with.
