↳ Concept
In 2023, we had the opportunity to collaborate with Ken Ueda, a master of chrysanthemum bonsai, to capture and share his deep knowledge in an informative bonsai course. His artistry, shaped by years of dedication, embodies a tradition that blends patience, precision, and an intimate connection with nature. Through our lens, we sought to not only document his expertise but to translate the quiet poetry of bonsai into a visual experience that reflects its meditative beauty. Together, with Ken’s mastery and our storytelling, we created a course that preserves and passes on the intricate art of chrysanthemum bonsai to future hands.
↳ Execution
To bring Ken Ueda’s expertise in chrysanthemum bonsai to life, we approached the project with a production style that balanced precision with natural artistry. Using a multi-camera setup, we captured both the fine details of his technique and the broader philosophy behind his craft. Our crew worked seamlessly to ensure a smooth production, with carefully composed shots and clear, immersive production sound that let Ken’s teachings be felt as much as heard. Through thoughtful editing, we shaped the course into an engaging, visually rich experience that honors the depth and beauty of chrysanthemum bonsai.
