A few weeks ago, on probably the snowiest day in Toronto this year so far (and hopefully that’ll remain), I shot a commercial for Basch by Brandon a new fashion collection by designer Brandon Dwyer.
We shot in the historic Distellery District in Toronto with model Andi Muise on my 7D package. Mainly shot with the Canon Zooms (16-35mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm) with some of our interiors on the 85mm 1.2 and 24mm 1.4. Schneider Low Con filters played in front of the lens the whole day. The 30 sec spot will be featured this spring, at Fashion Week in Toronto, as well as other forms of media.
Despite the extremely streamlined crew size, and adverse weather, I think we got some really great looking footage. Thanks to director/producer Sebastian Lyman for bringing me onboard and to my tech team.
Here are some behind the scenes videos I shot with my iphone. My intention is always to shoot lots of BTS stuff, or at least the interesting parts, but it never works out and gets progressively worse as the day goes on…oh well! To make up for it, some of my favorite screen shots! (captured from the h264 rushes and futzed with a little in photoshop)

The actual shot from the mirror/bathroom setup seen in the clip above. It ended up being a 650 flown in to key instead of a Kino. I find I’m always putting up Kino’s only to swap them out for tungsten heads and some diff. on the doors instead. There’s still a Long 4 raking the back wall and highlighting her a little when she moves.
Part of a 60fps pass of Andi walking. One of my favorite shots of the day. This was pulled from Final Cut with a quick 3-way color correct. I like the deeper, more red tone of the brick in the master above. Will have to try to match in the final grade.
Thank you! We love your latest work!
