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.
Pacificunior produces commercial stills and short films from Santander. Photography and motion 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 Calle del Sol hold tabletop, a north window, and a colour desk. Clients sit with tethered stills and a calibrated monitor in one visit. Product and grade live on the same floor. Location days stay on the granite we recce. Bounce and a small key match the overcast; we do not gel a false bay. If the weather turns, we wait or we rewrite, we do not invent the hour in the suite. Agencies send 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 editor can open without a private scheme.
