Lindt has invited us to shoot a BTS and some movie stills during their Chinese TV advertisement production for PR and social media purposes. We were happy to jump in and test out our then new Canon EOS R with a totally silent shutter function. All, as setting dictated, was shot without flash with only the available light, while trying to maintain silence – production team had to shoot all scenes in one day and we didn’t have time to shoot in between the video recordings. Lindt brought in their master chocolatier Stefan Bruderer and Chinese actress miss Xin Zhilei to be main characters of a story. We are sharing some of the shots with the cinematic light, set up by the Beijing TVC crew.
