“After the last two years, it was refreshing to get a brief that involved shooting overseas. It’s no easy feat and takes a lot of planning and logistics to get the crew and kit to where they need to be,” said Cal Thomson, Director of Photography at Dead Pixel.
“There’s a lot of technical aspects to consider when filming professional drivers using high-speed cars drifting around corners or climbing a volcano, but we loved the challenge of meticulously planning creative ways to capture enough engaging footage to create the long-form episodes”.
