How to shoot cinematic tech videos like Apple

When it comes to slick product videos, no one does them quite like Apple. They truly are the masters of the game, with the high tech, sci-fi-style slow reveal having become their trademark.

What is creativity for Ania Elias?

Creativity for me is many things. Perhaps easiest will be to start with what creativity is not.

You have to give yourself permission (and expect!) to make mistakes. Creativity can be frightening at times. For example, you may have doubts that you will succeed, or fear the unknown. Once I realized that you can’t avoid uncertainty in your creative journey, that it needs to be embraced, I found the process much more relaxing.

I’d like to start by saying that although I always try to think ‘outside the box’, actually looking at what’s inside the box can often take you by surprise! One of my favourite props to use in food photography is either an old French deep cast iron casserole dish or a wooden box. You can achieve some truly beautiful light when you create your set up inside a deeper container or a wooden box.

Tricks of the trade

One secret weapon that I recommend everyone has in their styling kit is Maggi Liquid Seasoning.

Compose Your Vision - Miniature

I always ask myself a lot of questions when starting a new project. Is this concept strong? What feeling will this evoke? What do I need to create depth in the image, is it through colour contrast or physical objects? How will the light reflect on the surface?
