Sharif Abd el Mawla - I Don't Know Where To Start

In a world where one in five adults experience a mental health problem each year, the short film 'I Don’t Know Where to Start,' has a powerful play. Written & directed by Sharif Abd El Mawla, produced by Partizan and featuring artist Sevdaliza, Ambassadors took charge of the color grading, VFX & sound design. Proud to contribute to this impactful message, shedding light on human imperfections and vulnerability in a society that often demands perfection.

The unique setting of the shoot presented an interesting challenge – the entire office—walls included— was adorned in wood. To avoid  sepia tones, we opted for a colder color grade with neutral highlights, enriching the wood's look to achieve a warm mahogany tone. 

We embraced the creative challenge to make the prosthetics appear convincingly real. In a collaborative effort, we worked on rendering a shot with heightened skin texture, employing some playful flame and grade trickery, ensuring a seamless blend between skin and prosthetics.
