LightsOn Romania – Cities Illuminated
The Challenge
LightsOn Romania transforms Romanian cities into an open-air gallery of light installations, inviting people to step outside,
explore their city by night, and connect with art in a new way. The festival showcases works from both local and international
artists, blending urban spaces with luminous creativity. But how do you capture light in a way that does justice to its brilliance?
That’s where we came in.
We have been responsible for filming and editing the official aftermovie from the festival’s first edition in 2018.
We crafted a structured shooting plan, capturing:
The city before and after the installations were set up.
The way people admired and interacted with the artworks.
Close-ups of the intricate details and shifting lights.
Reactions, wonder, and moments of quiet contemplation.
We collaborated with a photographer to capture unique stills to add another dimension.
These were transformed into creative collages and seamlessly integrated into the video, offering a fresh perspective.
Our edit played with rhythm—blending dynamic energy with moments of stillness, mirroring the festival’s balance
between spectacle and reflection.
The Result
Aftermovies that doesn’t just document the festival—they immerse you in it.
A cinematic journey through light, movement, and emotion.
A tribute to how art can reshape a city, even if only for a few magical nights.
