“This project consisted in a series of three short comedy situations, splitted in three different Italian cities: Milan, Rome and Naples.
That’s the main reason why pre-production phase was the hardest part.
Chiquita required lots of efforts to find the perfect representative locations and especially the perfect actors, with local faces. That was crucial to me!
Speaking of the location, scenography needed to be settled in three different food stores located in three different cities, so what I did was playing with natural daylight contrasting with switching off the whole stores lighting system, in order to make it match with my personal cinematographic idea.
Additionally, I worked with Panel Gemini 2×1, Astera, Aperture bulbs, plus, in an alley, two Arri 2M18 1800 W to recreate the natural warm sunset light effect.
