A terminal’s year in pictures

Stills and a short film for a container terminal, from night shifts to the morning crane change.

The brief

The client came to us for logistics work that had to run in print and on screens. We answered with one crew plan, a shot list with the must-have frames at the top, and a date that left room for the Antwerp weather.

On the day

We worked in four sessions across a year to catch every season on the quay.

Safety came first: every frame was planned with the terminal’s own team.

The annual report, the recruiting site and the visitor centre use the set.

Portrait, diamond cutter at the wheel

The job took one shoot day, with Lotte Peeters (director), Jens Claes (stills), Anouk Wouters (colour) on set. Selects were agreed on a tethered screen before wrap, so nothing was decided by email afterwards.

What we delivered

Everything was graded together and named for the media plan, with a readme in the archive for whoever opens it next.
