Cover stills, spread shots and a bindery film for an independent publisher.

The brief
The client came to us for print work that had to run in print and on screens. We answered with one crew plan, a shot list with the must-have frames at the top, and a date that left room for the Leipzig weather.
On the day
Every book was shot flat on the copy stand and standing on the cove.
The film follows one book from printed sheet to bound copy.
The publisher’s shop, catalogue and trade fair stand share the look.

The job took 3 shoot days, with Anna Krüger (director), Felix Wagner (stills), Lena Hoffmann (colour) on set. Selects were agreed on a tethered screen before wrap, so nothing was decided by email afterwards.
What we delivered
- Hero stills for print
- Three 15 second cutdowns
- A 60 second film
- Behind the scenes stills
Everything was graded together and named for the media plan, with a readme in the archive for whoever opens it next.
