Following the Telstra Air Wi-Fi network campaign launch, Gravity Media was commissioned to create three ninety second online educational videos. The creative and brief came in via Telstra’s partner agency The Monkeys.

Shot on the Sony F5 with Cine-Primes at 25 frames per second. Lighting spill was achieved with a large Cream Source soft light from above, with some creative use of pink-gelled panel lights and LED torches. In post, different techniques of particle emitters, stroke and light flares were combined to give the light effect. Each shot was then timed to 10 frames per second to give a stop-frame appearance. The device screens were motion tracked and added, then the plates were graded and all combined back to 25 frames per second for delivery.
