At Nemours Children’s Health, there’s something different going around and it’s something for which we hope there’s never a cure. MAKE / FILMS was the production partner for TILT, an agency out of Michigan, and worked with them on this spot for Nemours Children's Health System.

FROM THE DP We used the RED Ranger camera with the Sigma FF Cine Prime lenses. We had to move fast to capture as many people as possible in two days, using quick set ups of either a flag for negative fill or a diffusion frame to soften the sun, or a bounce for fill light, and sometimes all three. We would quickly choose a direction for the best background and then use all of those tools to make the subject look their best. The Sigma Primes really helped as well, with their sharp image quality yet beautiful bokeh in the background.
