Princess Cruise - 公主邮轮号

In June 2014, we started a journey to Korea by sea as we began our production for the Princess Cruise. The shoot became the biggest project to date for Limelight’s video production team. The entire studio staff joined and we even had to hire two foreign videographers to help as well as a stylist, make-up artist and models in total an entourage of 20 people. The equipment was a huge task with many different sizes of bags and containers including equipment such as dolley tracks and a full size jib, enough to fill 3 vans. We began in Shanghai where we boarded the ship to South Korea.

This trip was an actual functioning luxury cruise full with guests on the ship. We had to constantly avoid the crowds, but with the great support of the Princess Cruise crew we were always in good order. Moving from one shooting location to another however was a challenge with all the equipment since the ship was huge(2 football fields) and we could only walk there. The weather was another factor that we could not control but luckily the last day we left from Pusan,Korea  the evening provided a very beautiful scene to capture what we had hoped for. The final shooting location was the outdoor cinema on top of the ship and that day the weather was very bad as it rained constantly during that scene but everyone were very dedicated to the work and worked hard until the bitter end where we finally got all the footage we needed. The rain dropped down harder and a gale wind blew crazily till the moment we finished shooting and started packing all the equipment.

Now let’s take a look at our accomplishment for Princess Cruise.

2014年6月，我们踏上了去韩国的水上航线，进行公主邮轮宣传片的拍摄。这是我们工作室摄像部门最大的项目之一，我们工作室全员出动，甚至请了两名外援摄像师，再加上造型师，化妆师和模特，队伍多达近20人。器材更是多，大包小包十几包加上轨道摇臂够装三部车。就这样我们从上海吴淞港出发跟船去韩国开始了海上拍摄之旅。

拍摄是跟随游客一起的，也就是说我们跟随一次真实的出海游航线。拍摄过程中，我们要避开密集的人群，当然在公主邮轮方面的支持下，我们大多时间都能得到良好的拍摄条件。比较无奈的一件事是在两个拍摄场景之间转换时，我们搬器材相当费力，邮轮相当大，而上面又只能步行，所以拎着器材从船一边到另一边成为了一个艰巨的任务。天气也是我们不可控制的元素。幸好在离开釜山回上海的那个最黄昏，夕阳非常美丽，我们在甲板上拍到了美丽的画面。最后一个场景是星空电影院，这是一个露天的电影院。拍摄当天天气非常不好，最后阶段下起了小雨，但大家都很敬业，坚持完成了拍摄。当我们一拍完大夥在收东西之时，天空马上下起大雨，狂风大作！
