Recce notes include sun path, power, toilets, and whether a 12K can enter the lift. Romance is for the treatment; logistics are for the PDF.
We photograph the space at the hour we intend to shoot. A dusk recce does not prove a noon still.
Permits name stills and motion. A photography permit that forbids ‘filming’ will stop the second unit.
Neighbors and security get a one-pager. Surprise is not a production value.
Weather cover is a real interior, not a café we have not asked. If rain is likely, the interior is already in the call sheet.
Pacificfu produces commercial photography and motion from Vigo. The still and the film share a recce so a campaign does not split in public between a lookbook that looks like noon and a cut that looks like sunset. The rooms on Rúa do Príncipe hold tabletop, a compact cyclorama, and a colour desk. Clients sit with tethered stills and a calibrated monitor in one visit. Product and grade are not two cities apart. Location days stay on the granite we recce first. Bounce and a quiet key match the overcast; we do not gel a false Atlantic. If the weather turns, we wait or we rewrite the shot, we do not invent the hour in the suite. Agencies come with a media plan. We name masters for print, 1:1 and 9:16, keep a working project for the revision window, and hand an archive another team can open a year later without a private naming scheme.
