In April 2009, RedHill Media worked as local producers for an American Airlines video promoting Madrid as a fantastic tourist destination. Director Tracy Helms of Unleaded and his cameraman Marc Andre Chartrand captured amazing images of local stores, museums, restaurants, and much  more using the new Canon 5D Mark II cameras, while Barcelona freelancer and video artist Dan Dubassy focused on recording breathtaking time lapses of the Spanish capital.

RedHill Media sourced gear, acquired permits, hired additional crew, handled shoot logistics and transportation, and other production fixing services.

It was an awesome shoot and we hope to see the Unleaded team back in Madrid again soon!

Phil Stark shooting actress Yuka Sánchez

This shoot called for character described as “a young Japanese photographer and graphic designer,” so Phil and Ben created a little corner of Tokyo in a South Madrid apartment building.

The set was relatively simple but “cuidadado hasta el último detalle.” (dressed to the last detail).

As with the majority of their web shoots, Phil and Ben try to work as light as possible while”multi-skilling” across all departments.

The lighting was achieved with 1 Kino 4 X 2 and a 1K red head with bounce board.

All went great and the guys are looking forward to recreating interior locations for Chicago, Hanoi, Vancouver, LA and Buenos Aires  – all from their home  base  in Madrid!
