Gift Shop Flash Flood

The CLEO Institute set out to deliver a startling wake-up call to raise awareness for climate change in Florida. As Producer, I worked alongside creatives in NYC and Miami to ideate and plan a controlled indoor flood captured by hidden cameras. This Hollywood-level practical effect required constructing a custom waterproofed storefront capable of being repeatedly drenched with 6,000 gallons of water via firehoses. As Technical Director and Director of Photography, I utilized fully robotic, remotely controlled cameras that blended seamlessly into the surroundings, and even embedded waterproof GoPros directly in the flood zone for truly immersive shots.
