The idea for
this video was born this summer during our holidays in Croatia. I told my
brother Danijel that I would like a simple, funny but classy video including
my new porcelain soap dish. So, my brother came up with some plans how to
produce it. I loved them immediately. Few months later, Danijel came to visit my
home in Switzerland for a weekend. He brought the camera and a huge collection
of colourful soaps.
This is how we
did it: We used the trailer of my son’s wooden tractor to move the camera and
to minimize the shaking. Isn’t it how professional film makers do it?
Fortunately, our
soapy leading actors had no airs and graces. They did their job very well.
And finally we
ate some delicious food during our creative breaks.
Back in
Vienna, Danijel put it all together and did all the cutting on his computer.
You don’t need
an expensive equipment to be creative. We had the most of the fun when we had
to improvise during the process, especially when we used my son’s toy to move
the camera. I think our low budget production is nothing to sneeze at.
