Case Study: Lighting Up a High-End Commercial in Beijing
One of our recent projects involved a high-end commercial shoot in Beijing. The client required a complex lighting setup to highlight the product’s features while maintaining a cinematic look. Our bilingual gaffer worked closely with the director and local crew to design a lighting plan that achieved the desired effect. The lighting specialist coordinated with both the international creative team and local Chinese crew members, ensuring everyone understood the technical requirements and creative vision. The result was a visually stunning commercial that exceeded the client’s expectations and demonstrated how effective communication between international and local teams can elevate production quality.
