Production for Go Ahead Nordic
Finally! After some difficult years with the pandemic, Reisefilm is back in production. In November 2022, we had the pleasure of working with Go-Ahead Nordic on Sørlandsbanen. Go-Ahead Nordic is a new player in the Norwegian market, offering train travel to its customers. Now that the project can be found on the customer's SoMe platforms, we look back on the exciting and challenging production.
The biggest challenge for all productions in Norway is the timing of weather and lighting conditions. In November, there are only 5 hours of effective daylight in the Oslo region, which gave this project an additional challenge. Luckily with proper planning and 3 days of wiggle room, we had just enough time on the train to be able to cover the entire shooting list and concepts we had planned in advance. An active dialog with the customer during production is also absolutely essential and something we value highly after our previous experience in Brazil.
We were two men on the production. Photographer & fixer, and director & videographer. In addition to the existing concepts we had planned in advance, we took the opportunity to ask civilian travelers on the train if they wanted to be included in Go-Ahead Nordic promotional material. This process requires a lot of courage and is not always 100% accurate. With a lot of good energy and smiles, we surprisingly got more yeses than noes. This led to many natural and wonderful moments captured on film & photo for Go-Ahead Nordic.
We thank the customer for an exciting production.
