An event recap built around the world of Hawkins.

The film follows guests moving through the Stranger Things 5 event installations, from Hawkins themed vehicles and sets to the details placed throughout the experience.

I worked as Senior DOP within Firmative's camera team. The finished recap brings the different spaces, guest reactions and wider event atmosphere into one film for Netflix.
