St James Schools – Meditation Documentary
Client: St James Schools
Produced and Directed by Rosalind Wyatt and Piotr Karter
Director of Photography: Piotr Karter
Production Assistant: Jessica Smulders Cohen
From a Director of Photography’s perspective, I loved the location of The Study Society for this short documentary. The film explores the impact of meditation on the lives of four alumni and one current student of St James Schools, highlighting how meditation has shaped their lives beyond graduation.
Shot over two days with a small crew, we used two Canon C70 cameras and the Tilta Float system to capture both interviews and b-roll, enhancing intimacy and adding a smooth, dynamic quality. The full lighting kit highlighted the beauty of the inspiring setting, creating depth and atmosphere throughout the piece.
