How I picture this is a selective and unique approach to our art direction and visuals.
This involves a few carefully chosen pieces of production design, singular lighting per setup, and 2–3 shot “buckets” — all while having the kids deliver 1–2 lines.
Let’s break down how that could look for our three hypothetical cast members:
-
A soccer ball rolls into frame over turf, the lights glowing like a traditional stadium.
-
A foot stops it in its tracks, orthotics around the ankles.
-
A wide shot: a small square of turf on the ground, a goal in the background, lit with high stadium-style lights. Ridhyan is clad in a custom uniform.
-
Confidently, right to camera — “I am not limited by this!”
- A textured cut: he lifts a trophy, confetti falling around him.
- A paintbrush hits a canvas in close-up; we zoom out to reveal a beautiful nature painting.
- Wide shot: Zoe is intensely focused, painting in her wheelchair. Warm, dappled sunlight filters through leaves onto her face. Finished canvases and a workbench with paint surround her.
- “I’m not limited by what I have.”
- She turns the canvas around and signs her name in the bottom corner.
-
Close-up of eyes, darting; the movement of a screen reflected in her glasses.
-
“I’m not limited by any condition,” we hear her system say.
-
We punch out: the light whirrs and changes, words darting around projected in the studio behind her.
- We see the Tobii system she is using — plugged into an art-directed, old-school typewriter. Pages and pages of writing whir out of the typewriter and dance around her, raining down as she writes her best-selling book.
This is just a sample of what we could create depending on our cast. Each setup is designed to have a unique approach tailored to the talent’s real story, easy to switch between, and shot in a timeframe that is both efficient and healthy for everyone involved.
