A few grainy photos,
and a cinema screen
It started as a conversation between friends. I have a few photographs of the car, none of them high resolution, and I can’t take any more: it’s a surprise for the company’s anniversary. Can we do something anyway?
The hard part wasn’t the video: it was where it was going to end up. A cinema screen magnifies everything, and a flaw nobody notices on a phone is watched there by hundreds of people at once. We were starting from images that screen would not have forgiven.
The car was set back in motion from those photographs, and brought up to the quality a projection demands. There was no going back for better ones: we worked with those, and that was that.
That’s how the evening opened, in a cinema in Vicenza. The CEO knew nothing about it.
