We collaborated on the latest campaign for LOTTO NZ, New Zealand’s national lottery, which launched on national television in June 2025. Produced by GOOD OIL, we brought our specialist expertise in ski-based camera operation to help capture action.

Insight

We spent four production days in Japan´s Hakuba Valley doing what we do best: operating cameras on snow. The challenge of finding the optimal setup for this rig kept us busy for a couple of days in between rental partners in Munich and Tokyo, pushing us to fine-tune every detail for peak performance on the slopes.
