Stills show the look. Film shows the rest.

· Sniper Ajix

Why we shoot photography and film on the same set, and what brands leave with when we do.

Most campaigns need both: the still that holds a billboard or a magazine page, and the motion that holds a scroll. Treated as two productions, they drift apart: different light, different styling, different day.

At Sniper Ajix we plan them as one. The same eye that directs the photography directs the film, so a brand leaves with a matching set of images and motion, including vertical cuts for social.

The Amarelis lookbook is a good example. The set (mint shutters, lanterns, a bistro table on grass) was built once. The stills carry the colour and silhouette of the collection; the Dinner Piece film carries everything a still can't: the pour, the laugh, the turn of a dress.

The discipline is the same across both: considered light, strong direction, and work that is ready to publish.
