DB SCHENKER OCEAN FRIGHT

Shooting outdoors in Germany during December can be like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re gonna get. Chances are, the weather’s going to stink. We took our chances with DB Schenker and produced two films (Air and Ocean Freight) during the most festive time of the year. While other people were sipping Glühwein and prepping for the holidays, we were battling the elements in Hamburg’s Waterfront Harbor, shooting „Ocean Freight”. Weather was really crappy, cold, and completely overcast, there is not much you can do in camera. So what are you going to do? Exactly, fix it in post! Apart from making containers fly, we changed an overcast day into an early morning atmosphere, replacing the sky entirely and fiddling with the color to create the perfect illusion. See for yourself, nothing is hopeless, there is always something you can do to pimp up crappy looking footage.
