videos, working with some of the world’s largest brands, as well as with several indie artists. On his latest commercial project – an advertisement for Game of Thrones: Legends , a mobile game based on the book series and record-breaking TV show – he captured Kit Harington (aka Jon Snow) at the direction of Andy Mihov. “I see every project as an opportunity, so when someone calls you and says, ‘We’ve got Kit Harington for the day, we’re going to find a cool location and Game of Thrones ( GOT ) is your reference,’ my brain immediately thinks, ‘How cinematic can we make this look?’” His answer: very. Ransom shot in an atmospheric, speakeasy-style bar on Cooke special flare anamorphics, which he purchased through CVP. “This
was a project where we wanted to be authentic, so we lit only with real fire and tungsten. This gave us beautiful, warm tones and a lovely, cinematic GOT look, especially when paired with the special flares,” he describes. “I was able to bring that cinematic, 'movie' look into the commercial world and let them collide,” he says – and they managed to squeeze in some famous GOT quotes too. “The relationship I now have with CVP is strong in the sense that they’re always there for me,” Ransom adds. The project would have looked markedly different if CVP’s kit catalogue hadn’t had the Cooke lenses. “I’m in very safe hands. It’s got to the point where I don’t even look at pricing or availability anywhere else; CVP is my supplier, and I trust them.”
