Case Study: A High-End Commercial in Shanghai
One of our recent standout projects involved producing a high-end commercial for a global luxury brand with filming locations throughout Shanghai. Our lead cinematographer orchestrated the visual strategy to capture the city’s dynamic energy while maintaining the brand’s sophisticated aesthetic standards. The production required coordination across multiple iconic locations including the Bund, Xintiandi, and Lujiazui financial district. Our team managed complex logistics including peak-hour filming permissions, crowd control measures, and weather contingencies while working with a mixed international and local crew. The resulting commercial seamlessly blended Shanghai’s distinctive visual identity with the brand’s premium positioning, delivering a final product that not only met but significantly exceeded client expectations for visual impact and production quality.
