This campaign of mini films were create to announce the opening of the latest chapter of the mobile game called Merge mansion. Due to the simplicity of the films, I wanted to make sure each moment was as cinematic as possible, hence the sweeping moves and moody lighting. We filmed all three spots on the second day of the shoot and utilized a combination of the Paramour Estate’s already epic interior design and the incredible production design by Scout Exhibition Co. The entire experience was masterminded by Reaktor Creative, Jack Morton, my team at Unit9, and brought to life by so many talent people including JFI Productions. Full credits below.

Special heartfelt call out to my partner in crime, DP @powell_robinson, our epic Steadicam Op @jamesmarin3, our ridiculously skilled colorist @sgllng (sam Gilling), my first AD, @matthewmartintk, my amazing lineproducer @pialuvbug and my always amazing EP @emilyjmalito.
