Huge thanks to the camera and lighting team who made this look the way it does. @nicolas_di_matteo on Steadicam, moving with the performers instead of around them. @louis_peppiatt_ac on 1st AC, pulling focus on people who rarely stay still. @chasing.frisson on lights, shaping every pool of light and shadow. And @mcx_films who backed us with the kit. Brilliant crew!
@riyahollings has spent five years building The Body at Work, and RISE is the first film to come out of it. I came on as DoP and was lucky enough to get involved as a producer in the early stages too, helping get it to where it needed to go. Thank you, @riyahollings for bringing me in. Everyone gave a lot to this, and it was a great film to be part of. Special thanks to @avenues.studio who took the film into post and made Riya and the project feel properly looked after. @pawel_achtelik cut it, @johnlaytoncolour graded it and @zeena95 produced it through post.
