La Maison du Paradou is an oasis of calm and tranquility and the idea was to produce an inspirational promo rather than a promo that showed every room and feature in a methodical way.

It was all shot on the canon 5d mk 2 and canon 7d using sticks, a cinevate + follow focus handheld rig and a very small glidetrack for some dolly shots. Mostly and deliberately shot handheld. It was shot during a relatively busy period so the idea was to keep my “footprint” discrete and shoot at certain times so as not to affect guests. The dslr camera and rigging were ideal for this and produced a beautiful image.
