This project was so meta. The in-house Google creative team and I worked remotely to produce this short spot about the Yahoo Finance team working remotely. We partnered with Bonfire Labs for production and compositing support. Andy Serwer’s interview was filmed using a “multi camera” setup consisting of his laptop’s built in camera and two iPhones. I think his wife did a phenomenal job operating the “B camera”.

I love projects like this. The footage I was given was an amazing collection of interviews conducted by Salesforce’s über Creative Director Bryan Ebzery. I had a great time in the Bonfire Labs edit suite getting to know these subjects. The footage was actually shot on green screen with the intention of compositing in various backgrounds. But once we found these moments that we’d strung together we loved them so much we didn’t want anything to distract from them. So boom - after a bunch of compositing work from the Bonfire team, a grey cyc.
