Filters : CPL, ND, black mist.
Lighting : multiple LED panels and torches, softbox, reflectors.
Sound recording : wireless mic, tie-clip mic, shotgun mic, condenser mic.
Accessories : tripods, monitors, gimbal, motorized slider, teleprompter, green screen.
GENERATIVE AI PROCESS
- Ideation and initial prompt design : Conceptualizing and drafting detailed initial prompts, including key ideas, comprehensive descriptions of characters, environments, atmosphere, actions, dialogues, sounds, and technical specifics.
- Prompt optimization : Using Gemini to refine and enhance the initial prompt, producing various outputs tailored for different final needs (image, video, audio).
- Image generation : Importing the final prompt into ImageFX to create the most accurate image possible, closely matching the original creative vision.
- Video clip generation : Importing the static image into Flow (Veo 3) to generate a dynamic video clip with sound.
- Iterative process : Repeating the previous steps as needed to create all the necessary video clips for the complete desired video sequence.
- Character consistency : Utilizing Runway to ensure character consistency across different video sequences.
- Optional audio enhancement : Using ElevenLabs to perfect the dialogues.
VIDEO PROCESS
- shooting video systematically in "flat" for color grading optimization in post-production
- editing and post-production works entirely carried out with DaVinci Resolve
- video import for rough cuts
- cuts, editing, transitions, titling, text, basic effects
- advanced color grading (level, exposure, contrast, colorimetry, temperature, glow, halation, vignetting)
- advanced effects, motion design carried out in Fusion part
- audio mixing carried out in Fairlight part (voice isolation, compression, limiter, hi-pass, lo-pass)
- final editing synchronized with sound design and background music (Audiio license)
- export in most optimized format according to needs
PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS
- shooting photo in RAW systematically for maximum dynamic range in post-production
- shooting photo in HDR bracketing on tripod for exposure optimization (if necessary)
- RAW development with Affinity or Lightroom
- complete editing in Affinity or Photoshop (level, exposure, contrast, colorimetry)
- optimization with Photo AI : denoise, sharpen, upscale (if necessary)
- export to the most optimized format according to needs
VIRTUAL TOUR PROCESS
- shooting photo in RAW systematically for maximum dynamic range in post-production
- shooting photo in HDR bracketing on tripod systematically for exposure optimization
- shooting video with dedicated 360 camera
- RAW development, HDR 360 stitching, tone mapping, EXR export, carried out with PTGui
- complete editing with Affinity or Photoshop (level, exposure, contrast, colorimetry)
- optimization with Photo AI : denoise, sharpen, upscale (if necessary)
- export in jpg format 16000x8000 px (16K quality)
- virtual tour editing work entirely carried out with 3DVista Virtual Tour Pro
- design : navigation, panorama meshing, custom skin, integration of sounds, music, effects, 3D
- export advanced interactive virtual tour to FTP server or basic virtual tour on Google Maps
LIGHTING
- 3 point lighting technique : key light, fill light, rim light
- dramatic and cinematic effect intentionally sought
- adjusting lighting angles to bring volume to the subject by playing with shadows and lights
- Subtle separation of the subject from the background by brightness contrast
SOUND RECORDING
- interview and voiceover recording : use of mics (wireless, tie-clip, shotgun, condenser)
- audio editing work entirely carried out with DaVinci Resolve in Fairlight part
- ensuring sound is always clean, crystal clear and always above the rest in the audio mixing
GREEN SCREEN (PHOTO/VIDEO)
- use of large green screen without folds
- set up lighting oriented towards the green screen in order to flat its color and facilitate its removal in post-production
- for photo part, editing with Affinity (removal by selection and mask)
- for video part, editing with DaVinci Resolve in Fusion part (removal by chromakey)
- infinite possibility of background replacement for more creativity and flexibility in post-production
