David Chipperfield Architects
David Chipperfield Architects has commissioned me to create a series of videos showcasing the studio's competition entries, highlighting the mastery of architectural modelling and bringing life to otherwise static project presentations.
The videos were shot on site, in the studio workshop in Milan, using only practical means of video production, using digital effects only for removing the backdrops and the surrounding. The concept was to create video content akin to digital project renderings while retaining the physicality of architectural models.
The biggest challenge during the pre-production phase and during filming was the fact that the models were not transportable, placed in the workshop spaces for ease of construction and client demonstrations. Therefore a mobile set had to be constructed, with lights, backdrop and camera rails to be built on site in a very constrained space.
