Shoot on Phantom Flex
with Arri Master Primes
Amstel
DownloadDirected by: New Director
I shot this tabletop commercial for Amstel with director Adrián Egea and production company Finesse, and we went full high-speed on the Phantom Flex paired with Arri Master Primes to catch the pour and bubble dynamics at a level you can't see with the naked eye. The brief was straightforward, beer hitting the glass, but the real work was dialing in the timing and light so the liquid read as liquid and not just blur. We ran multiple passes, tweaked the camera speed between takes, and let the optics do what they do best, which is render those Master Primes with that clean, clinical sharpness tabletop demands. The Phantom gives you the frame rate flexibility to play with speed ramping in post, so we had options in the edit that made the whole sequence feel intentional rather than just fast. Finesse brought the discipline on set, Adrián knew exactly what he wanted, and the gear didn't get in the way.
