B16

The film's tone was clinical emphasising the chemical feel of a drug trial. We worked with a cold, blue aesthetic throughout to elevate that sense of being monitored and controlled. The visual approach reinforced the desperation of the test subjects.

This project showed me that technical solutions matter more than perfect gear. We achieved the clinical, hostile visual we wanted despite the constraints. That's the lesson that stuck. You work with what's available and find creative ways to execute the vision.

The experience taught me to think practically about production and to prioritise the core visual intent over ideal circumstances.

I came onto the project late, only a couple of weeks before filming. We had no prep days, an inexperienced crew, and transportation limits that dictated what gear we could realistically use.

We could only carry what we could physically move over long distances, so every piece of equipment had to justify its weight. That forced me to think practically, not creatively. I could not rely on fancy gear or extensive planning, so I focused on what we had and made every decision count.
