Production:
This video was shot over the course of a week on location in Portugal. Due to the Pandemic production was kept small with only one model, kitesurfer and singer Margot Zoer, and one camera operator working in self direction. In addition there was local staff on site providing the crew with craft services. The hotel owner provided detailed scripting and concepts on forehand created by their team at Soulkite Australia, the sister company to this hotel.
Recording was done on a Sony A7III combined with a DJI Ronin S and DJI Mavic 2 Peo. The choice for this setup was to create a small and light setup which made it possible to travel fast, light and get as much footage as possible.
The covid-19 pandemic made it possible to experience unique visits to several points of interest in the area that will normally become crowded with tourists, this gave the whole video quite an unique eastethic.
Additionally a series of property and lifestyle photos where added during the production period.
