BRIEF

In January 2022, in collaboration with Whitcombe James, we flew out to Panama to film a new shoppable series with travel giant Expedia. The series follows 3 influencers as they travel around Panama, each discovering and immersing themselves in the culture, heritage and activities on offer. We were tasked with helping shoot each episode on location, while also editing episode 3 starring former NBA player Phil Calvert (@philwaukie). The series focuses on the beauty of the Central American country, guaranteed to fill viewers with wanderlust.

As part of the production team, we travelled around Panama over the course of 5 weeks, visiting a huge range of cities, towns and villages, both urban and remote. With strong experience travelling the world for our shoots, we ensured all our gear was prepped and ready for the tropical environment, and bought additional equipment to ensure we could meet the demands of the project. We shot the trip in 5K on our RED Scarlet-W camera, as well as capturing aerial visuals with our Inspire 2 drone. We worked closely with the production team to capture beautiful b-roll and story pieces which were essential in helping bring the essence of the trip to life.

POST-production

The project totalled over 14TB, with our team working closely with the Whitcombe James team to ensure there were 3 backups of everything.

The series is comprised of three episodes: One episode, 'Taking The Plunge', edited by us and two episodes, 'Culture, Customs, Cuisine' and 'A Feast For All The Senses', edited by Whitcombe James. We worked closely with the Whitcombe James team to build the story from the ground up. Our episode centres on ocean activities in Panama's idyllic islands, with snorkelling in Bocas del Toro to fishing off the coast of the Pearl Islands. The video, build from over 4TB of footage, was edited, mixed and graded by our in house team, with creative direction in collaboration with Whitcombe James.
