NIU - Make Life Electric
NIU Commercial
Director: Kimie Minobe
DoP: Lukas Galantay
Producer: Linda Duan
The NIU E-moped transforms a dirty polluted city into a clean crisp white city of the future. On its journey the E-bike will light up houses, displace cars on the road, change smoking factories into wind turbines and makes nature thrive in the city with cleaner air.
Behind the Scenes
The moped our client has provided was built to a scale of 1:12 and architecture models are usually no larger than 1:20.
This and our 200£ budget were the reasons, why we didn't built a cityscape to the true scale of the bike. We decided to stay true to the handmade look and I found inspiration from sets like Gotham City in Tim Burton’s Batman. (1989)
After weeks of planning the project, we had to get everything on camera within two shooting days.
Building a paper city, implementing complex lighting, camera and actor cues were challenging but also great fun!
