Behind Every Shot: The Making of Kia’s ‘ Dear Tennis ‘ 2024 Commercial in Madrid

Live The Reel — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 14:54:13 +0000

At Live The Reel, we recently had the pleasure of servicing KIA’s ” Dear Tennis ” Australian Open 2024 commercial for the London-based production company, Family Creative. Directed by Chris Fowles and captured through the lens of DOP Andi Hampton.

More than just an advertisement for Kia’s new electric SUV, the EV9; it’s a celebration of the sport of tennis, narrated by the legendary Rafael Nadal. His voiceover, ” Dear Tennis, you are more than just a game, you are an enduring love, a stranger, a toughest rival. In the face of adversity, you ignite something extraordinary. You allow us to dream. Because for every serve, every rally and every point, we find the power to move forward. Thank you, tennis,” serves as a heartfelt tribute to the game and its impact on players of all levels.

As a production service producer in Madrid and Mallorca, we ensured that every aspect of the shoot was seamless. From location scouting the various tennis venues, providing local crew & equipment, dealing with the local authorities for permits, to coordinating the car tracking shots in the city, our team fully supported the production on the ground.

Alongside the commercial, we’re excited to share behind-the-scenes photos and a video that showcase the team’s work on set. Shot on location in Madrid, Spain.

5-Star Style Unleashed – Jacamo’s Striking Alcudia Beach Hotel Shoot with Rugby Star Courtney Lawes

Live The Reel — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 13:25:01 +0000

Our team at Live The Reel wrapped up a dynamic two-day beach hotel commercial filming in Mallorca for the fashion brand Jacamo, featuring the formidable rugby icon Courtney Lawes. With the stunning beachside hotel serving as our multifaceted location, our production service was in full swing supporting our client’s vision. The northern charm of Mallorca’s Alcudia was the perfect backdrop for capturing Jacamo’s blend of casual elegance and robust style. Moreover, the ever-reliable sunny climes of Mallorca graced our “winter” shoot with an abundance of natural light.

Shot on the Arri Alexa Mini paired with Cooke S4/i lenses ensured each frame was infused with warmth and clarity. A foray into aquatic cinematography was achieved with the Scubacam, bringing a below-the-surface perspective to the visuals.

Simultaneously, a photoshoot was underway. We transformed a section of the hotel into an impromptu studio, complete with a colourama for that polished studio feel. This dual-format approach not only maximized our shooting time with our models, but also provided Jacamo with a comprehensive portfolio of images and footage from the shoot.

Nearing the end of our second day of filming in Alcudia Mallorca, we transitioned into an atmospheric night session on the beach. Our art department skilfully setting the stage with a pop-up beach bar, bathed in the soft illumination of hanging bulbs, providing a relaxed yet stylish backdrop for Jacamo’s evening collection.

A technical tour through our recent Mallorca commercial production service rendered under the warm embrace of Palma’s sun. Tasked with facilitating Greenroom Films from the UK, our expert local team at Live The Reel provided comprehensive fixer services to orchestrate a seamless shoot for True Potential’s latest TVC.

Our camera setup was spearheaded by the Alexa Mini LF, complemented by the Arri Signature Primes for their exceptional image quality. The Angénieux EZ-2 Lens provided us with the flexibility of a zoom lens, which, when combined with the precision of the Fisher 11 dolly and Romford slider, allowed for smooth and intricate camera movements – to create the “vertigo effect”. Brilliant DOP, Tim Fok’s inclusion of the unique Laowa Periprobe lens brought an innovative and fresh angle for the final brand shot.

To bring the True Potential commercial to life, our local crew at Live The Reel worked meticulously to utilize every facet of a luxurious private villa in Mallorca, crafting a versatile filming environment that supported multiple thematic sets within its walls and grounds. As the Mallorca Service Company, Live The Reel was proud to work alongside and support the visionary team:

On the Move: Capturing the KIA EV6 on Mallorca’s Roads

Live The Reel — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 14:55:07 +0000

In our latest production news installment, join us on the move as we journey through the winding coastal roads of Mallorca for the road shoot of KIA’s 2023 Australian Open commercial. The Live The Reel team, serving as the fixers, provided top-tier production services to ensure the KIA EV6 was showcased against the striking sceneries of Soller and the Sierra de Tramuntana. Our local crew’s expertise was vital in managing the shoot’s complexities, from securing the necessary location permits to orchestrating road closures.

Employing the Alexa Mini LF camera with its esteemed image quality and K35 lenses known for their characterful vintage look, captured the essence of the EV6’s design. The Scorpio Arm, mounted on a tracking vehicle with a Nodal 360-degree ring, provided the dynamic range of motion needed to keep pace with the car’s sleek dynamics.

For the aerial perspective, we launched an FPV drone equipped with the RED Komodo, swooping over the landscape to offer breathtaking views of the EV6 in motion, adding an extra dimension to the car’s on-screen presence.

We’re excited to not only share a behind-the-scenes, but also to unveil the latest KIA x Nadal car commercial. This production stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit and the combined expertise of everyone involved.
