The documentary was filmed over two days with a small crew of three. We used two Canon C70 cameras to capture both the interviews and b-roll, enhancing the intimacy and natural flow of the film. For some shots, I used the Tilta Float system, which provided smooth and dynamic visual quality. A full lighting kit helped to highlight the beauty of the rooms in The Study Society, adding depth and atmosphere to the already stunning location.
