SELECTED PROJECT 08 / FRANCO AND BRUSH / SELECTED PROJECT
A Long Bloodline.
Franco and Brush over the years.
Challenge.
Franco was in Trinidad and wanted us to come and shoot. There was little information ahead of time, so we had to arrive ready to find the story and decide how to capture it.
Idea.
Franco is photographed and filmed often. The challenge was to capture him in a way we had not before, and make something that felt epic without simply repeating the familiar view.
My role.
I brought different perspectives into the coverage: a super-wide lens to establish the space and energy, close-ups for detail, and a 360 camera to hold a longer-format view of what was happening. Those choices gave us different ways to experience the same moment.
Teamwork.
The shoot brought Franco’s performance together with our visual and sound coverage. We connected an audio recorder to capture his audio alongside the pictures, using his laptop as part of the setup. The experience needed to be heard as well as seen.
Outcome.
We captured a combination of super-wide views, close-up detail, a longer-format 360 perspective and dedicated audio. Together, those elements offered a different way to experience Franco’s performance, rather than another version of the familiar shot.
