Ice Wonderland X Coca Cola Arena
Project Overview: In just 24 hours, an empty arena was transformed into a full-scale ice rink — and we turned that feat into film. Our team crafted both a cinematic documentary and an energetic highlights reel, blending time-lapse builds, behind-the-scenes action, and crowd-filled moments into one seamless story. The result captures not just the technical mastery of the installation, but the wonder and excitement of ICE Wonderland coming to life.

Ultra-Tight Timeline: Project confirmed just two weeks before the show, demanding rapid planning and execution.
24-Hour Build: Documenting the transformation of an empty arena into a full-scale ice rink in only one day.
Multi-Deliverables: Producing both a documentary and highlights film in horizontal and vertical formats, plus same-day photography.
Small but Agile Crew: Executing large-scale coverage with a team of only five people.
1. Pre-Production (Mid-March 2024):
