Rabobank [Corporate]

Rabobank, a global financial services company, needed a corporate video shot at their Atlanta headquarters. We were hired by our client, Summit Media in the Netherlands, to produce it. The main challenge was a large plate-glass window in the chosen conference room. In the past, the bright natural light had made subjects in front of the window appear too dark, obscuring the stunning city view.

We were sent two photos of the room and used them to build a pre-visualization lighting simulation. This software allowed us to model the space and test different lighting setups to find a solution that would balance the bright window light while properly exposing the subjects. We were able to confirm that our three-camera setup, paired with our camera and lens combinations, would work, even on the brightest possible day. Our client was so pleased with the results of the pre-visualization that we were approved to begin filming the very next day.

On the day of the shoot, we used the window light as a natural key light and two 300-watt LED lamps to add a soft, flattering fill to the subjects' faces, which earned us praise from our client. We captured the view and got the shot!
