Studio and suite

A desk, two chairs, a cupboard of memory cards. The market is a ten-minute walk. Strada Stefan cel Mare 61.

Studio

The desk sits on Strada Stefan cel Mare, across from the bus park. The people who call are growers, stall holders, and the depot. A brief that wants a styled kitchen goes somewhere else. By ten in summer the dust is on every face. We shoot before it, or we leave it. Cleaning a Cahul morning until it looks imported is the mistake we stopped making.

From the window you can see the park. Cards live in the cupboard. Nothing stays on the desk overnight except tomorrow's page.

Address: Strada Stefan cel Mare 61, Cahul MD-3901, Moldova. +373 299 32 417. info@forstate.online.

Equipment and rooms

Cameras

Stills and cinema bodies kept in Cahul, with matched primes so stills and motion share a field of view.

Lighting

Market mornings are whatever the sky is doing over the crates. At the packing line we use the tubes already bolted to the ceiling and a board to keep a face from going green.

Grip

Stands, flags and support that the van can actually carry.

Finishing

A colour-managed room in Cahul for HDR and SDR, and a stills pipeline that takes tethered captures.
