The Challenge

The brief was ambitious: capture the entire journey of the event from arrival to departure, with a focus on both the venue and the experience. Specific requirements included:

  • Exterior wide shots of Amsterdam Centraal station and the branded train.
  • Hyperlapse sequences of guest arrivals and check-in.
  • Beauty shots of lighting, décor, and DJ setup.
  • Dynamic coverage of DJ performances, crowd reactions, and dancefloor energy.
  • Documenting boarding, departure, and return of the train for a complete event arc.
  • Delivering both 50 edited photos and a 2-minute promotional video optimized for social media.

The challenge was balancing fast-moving, high-energy moments with polished visuals — all while working inside the unique constraints of a moving train.
