Adam shares how the team turned a single abandoned community center into a surreal party world using practical effects, lasers, dancers, mirrors, confetti, and a lot of experimentation. They get into collaborative scouting, shooting at 250fps on the Alexa 35, building atmosphere with practical effects, lens choices, and how giving talented people room to play led to some of the spot’s most memorable moments.
