Industry: Consumer Goods

Brief: Provide production support for the commercial, including studio rental, on-set technical operation, crew, casting, and construction of physical set elements for virtual environments.
Production
To bring the brand’s latest campaigns to life, Shutterstock Studios partnered with Gorodenkoff Productions to produce two films for Sagrotan. Shutterstock Studios led the creative concept development and created the 3D environments, while we provided full production services in our virtual production studio and supported on-set execution. Together, we crafted two distinctive stories that showcase Sagrotan’s modern approach to family hygiene and everyday life.
The production featured two unique scenes, one set in a kitchen with a young couple, and another in a bathroom with a father and his son. Both were filmed in a single day, making efficiency and precision essential to the project’s success.
Behind-the-Scenes
The kitchen scene was largely virtual. We built a modular kitchen set to perfectly align with the LED wall’s digital environment, ensuring smooth transitions between the real and virtual elements. To maximize flexibility, the entire set was constructed on wheels, allowing for quick adjustments and seamless repositioning between shots.
The bathroom scene, in contrast, was mostly practical. The LED screen served as a subtle window view, adding depth to the space. The bathroom was envisioned first with the help of AI and brought to life by our in-house construction team. To meet the tight production schedule, the set was completely dismantled during the lunch break including walls, tiles, flooring, and set dressing, in just 15 minutes, making way for the next setup.
This project highlights the power of virtual production, intelligent set design, and precise teamwork to deliver cinematic results under challenging timelines.
