‘We want a big promotion… This is the biggest commission of the year… We want the show to have big ratings’. Big seemed to be a very frequent adjective used in my promo brief, so I decided to make our Celebrity Chefs, wait for it… small… very small! Inspired by the likes of The Borrowers, Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Gulliver’s Travels I entered the complicated world of green screen. Every single part of the production had to be meticulously planned: playing with proportions isn’t easy but myself, the DOP, VFX Artist and Art Director got our calculators and rulers out and managed to make it work!
