What we delivered
How do you make a miniature feel monumental? To celebrate the Swatch Art Peace Hotel, the Shanghai artist residency behind a new collection of watches designed by six of its artists, Swatch needed shots of the hotel itself, in scale model form.Enter our motion control robot, TESSA. Mounted with a cinema camera and a probe lens, it glided along the facade with millimetre precision, turning a tabletop model into a grand architectural landmark.Because every move is fully repeatable, each pass could be replayed identically, giving the team total freedom in lighting, framing and post-production.
