Marluce and Lara are a synchronised swimming duet from Liechtenstein. They are currently working hard towards the Olympics 2020 in Tokyo. As their training is quite expensive, they started a campaign on the site «i believe in you» to realise their dream.
I got to create this short promotion video for them, which they could use to find sponsors.
The biggest challenge of this project was filming the underwater scenes. For this I used a fairly cheap bag, that was created for this exact purpose. Framing the shots was hard, as the light refracted in the plastic of the bag. But with a few attempts, we managed to get amazing results.
Luckily, the Sony a7 III has pretty good autofocus, as moving the focus ring (or using any button at all on the camera) was nearly impossible.
