With this Microsoft Azure IoT brand video I wanted to create visual drama and rich contrast. After scouting several pools we chose the one with the least distracting background. Since we were lighting an entire indoor swimming pool on a limited budget, we leaned into the hard rim lighting and deep shadows. In several shots you can see practical lights rigged to be seen behind the diver on the diving board. All footage that doesn’t feature the diver is stock footage.
