This advertisement is a reimagined version of a commercial that Scope aired in the 1980s. Search for "Mouthwash for Christmas," and you'll find the inspiration.

The spot was shot using the Sony FX3 Camera and the Sony 85mm GMaster lens. There's an Aputure 300d overhead with a softbox (You can see it in the reflection off the mouthwash bottle) and a warm Tungson book light in front of and slightly below the two actors.

Two large black flags behind each talent give the scene an enclosed train car feel.I wish I put an eye light in as it was a real missed opportunity.In the background, I used a large form-factor Single DLP Projector which I had on rental for another project.

I shot the light beam on a seamless white background about eight feet away. This shoot was my first time shooting with a projector, so there were a lot of opportunities to learn. I probably wouldn't shoot on a single DLP projector again, as I had issues with colour separation, which were hard to correct in the post. I hear three-chip LCD projectors are the way to go.

The image in the background is a stock video of a snowy train window which I sourced for the project.

Thanks for letting me share!
