Our director gives you the intention, the energy, the rhythm. You take the direction and you adjust take after take without losing the tone.The register. These are ads that have to stop a thumb in the first second. It is not theatre and it is not corporate voice-over: it is natural, direct, alive. You need to be watchable on a phone screen, filmed close, with no crew and no heavy setup.The volume. We shoot a lot. Ten videos in a session is a normal day.
