Knowledge Drop:
Whizz Film Introducing: ‘Knowledge Drop!’
A new series where we share real behind-the-scenes lessons, creative breakthroughs, and production magic we’ve accomplished on the road (or in this case, at sea 👀). Quick reads, real stories, and maybe a few secrets we’ve picked up along the way.
🚪 Drop #2: How do you bring someone’s house by an airport runway?
When we were asked us to create a film for International Customs Day, we knew this couldn’t just be another polished cinematic output.
We thought: Customs work is everywhere… but also invisible.
So we asked: what if we made the invisible, impossible to ignore?
Enter: chroma blue, CG, and a healthy dose of visual mischief.
We built a world where logic broke down.
* A land port appeared outside a bedroom window
* A front door opened onto an airport runway
* A container ship sat between the aisles of a warehouse
Why? To show how seamlessly ZATCA’s presence moves across all borders, boundaries, and spaces even the ones you’d never expect.
It was a celebration of the reach and relevance of customs.
Blue screens. Big ideas. And a whole lot of compositing magic.
📦 A reminder: good storytelling doesn’t just inform.
It bends reality to help you see what’s always been there.
