Production Design & Photography for SGD Newsletter

Production Design & Photography for SGD Newsletter

The BTS of this feature hasn’t been done in CGI, it’s all production design and photography. This time around it was for SGD for which it stands for: Small Green Door and their set designs. As being a full interactive studio, they are basing their services on a few key words: “design, shoot, develop, and grow”. Because of the non-use of CGI, it was definitely interesting to see the work behind and what happened to trick the results into something quite unique.

Behind this work, we are looking at the team from Small Green Door who is a creative studio based in Los Angeles, California, USA. They are a small team but it doesn’t mean they aren’t properous; on the contrary it turned out pretty well. I would suggest to check out their site at smallgreendoor.com.

This branding campaign is based on SGD’s four basic creative services: design, shoot, develop, and grow. The task communicates the idea behind each category in a fresh and unique way. By using color as an initial focal point, the process began with selecting specific color palettes that could relate and communicate our four pillars. This led to the exploration of objects that could create a harmonious tonal voice.

This Skier and His ‘Poor Man’s Drone’ Captured Some Amazing Aerial Shots


No money for a drone? No worries!


Drones have made aerial cinematography possible for low-budget filmmakers, but even though they can be budget-friendly for some, sometimes they are just too expensive for others. If you’re in the “I’ll never be able to afford a drone” category, pro skier Nicolas Viugnier has a solution for you. Using the $54 AER GoPro accessory, Viugnier managed to capture some amazing aerial shots of him doing his thing on the slopes simply by tossing the rig in the air.





If Viugnier seems familiar to you, you might recognize him from an article we posted last year about his poor-man’s bullet-time technique, which was just him swinging a GoPro around on a string. Genius and beautiful! For his latest video, though, Viugnier uses his “poor man’s drone.” He plopped his GoPro into the AER and used its aerodynamic design, as well as the momentum build from skiing down mountains to gracefully toss it into the air. And the shots are surprisingly steady and captured some great footage.
