Earthshot Week / Mega Event Coverage

A week of vibrant minds, bold ideas, and unwavering commitment to saving our planet.

Witness the power of collective action at Temasek Trust's Earthshoot Week, where global leaders, investors, and passionate individuals converge to ignite hope for a sustainable future.

Client: Temasek Trust

The Earthshot Prize's third awards ceremony took place in Singapore on 11/7/2023, accompanied by Earthshot Week. This week-long event united leaders, businesses, and investors with winners and finalists to boost eco-friendly solutions and actions. Through Earthshot Week, the public engaged with sustainability leaders in Asia and discovered TEP finalists' impactful endeavours. Regional climate enthusiasts gained leadership skills, mentors, and peers while honing climate storytelling.

As Temasek Trust organised a lot of events to support the cause throughout the week, coverage was needed for them to spread the efforts that companies are making for a more sustainable future.

We shot for over a period of 10 days and pieced them all together to create this mega event video. This project comes in two cuts: a 3-minute showcase and a punchy 30s teaser.

Our Approach

Storytelling & Visual Strategy

We wanted the message of Earthshot Week and the people involved to really shine through to audiences as sustainability has been talked about but there are still not enough efforts taken by people around the world.

However, there is hope. There are groups and individuals who are bringing the message closer to home all around the world and our responsibility and effort is to use film/video as a medium to spread these thoughts to viewers in an effort to spur hearts into action.

We knew the video has to be thought-provoking, informative, strong and lasting. To make it more visually interesting as well, we leaned in towards stylistic concepts such as timelapse and hyperlapse to create a one of a kind look to showcase certain scenes, giving it that grand sense of time and scale it takes to arrange all these.

Production Considerations

Speed was of the essence for this project as movements are constantly happening and we had to find ways to keep up with the event flow. Lighting, camera recording frame size had to be optimised in order to capture a high quality video to be used in post-production.

For lighting during vox pop recordings, we steered towards open, natural lighting that is not too harsh on the complexion as well.

Another factor we decided to take is to shoot everything in 4k resolution. This gives us the highest fidelity for our footage and provides many options for scaling and reframing during post-production. For the camera team, there will be instances where their positioning might not be the best due to venue restrictions or impromptu happenings. To counter this, recording in 4k gives us that failsafe to make sure the frame is still visually pleasant while avoiding the pixelation that happens when you zoom into a lower-resolution footage.
