Project Scope:
The project involved following the progress of the cabins from start to finish, ensuring that every step in the process was documented. I traveled to the location every time there was a significant development or milestone, capturing key moments that illustrated the hard work and craftsmanship behind each stage.

Key Stages Covered:

  1. Site Preparation:
    I filmed the early stages, including clearing the land and cutting down trees, ensuring the cabin's foundation could be established. The natural beauty of the surrounding forest set the stage for the chalets, emphasizing the integration of the cabins with the environment.

  2. Building the Structure:
    I documented the delivery and assembly of the cabin structures, capturing the intricate steps of building, from the arrival of materials to the skilled craftsmanship in putting together each chalet's frame.

  3. Plumbing and Water Systems:
    One of the critical phases was introducing the plumbing systems for water. I captured the installation process of pipes and water systems, highlighting the technical complexity involved in creating a self-sufficient cabin in the mountains.

  4. Interior Design and Finishing Touches:
    As the cabins took shape, I filmed the addition of interior elements like insulation, flooring, and rustic furniture, capturing the balance of comfort and luxury in a natural, tranquil setting.

  5. Completion:
    Finally, I documented the completion of the project, showing the cabins in their full, luxurious glory. The end result was a serene, stylish retreat for couples, nestled in the woods with panoramic mountain views.

Project Outcome:
The video documentation of the building process was designed to tell the story of Elementa’s vision and commitment to creating sustainable, luxurious cabins. The footage successfully showcased the evolution of the project, highlighting the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the natural beauty of the location. The final product was a visually captivating and informative video that illustrated the entire process from concept to completion.

Lessons Learned:

  • Consistency in Documentation: Capturing every stage of the project ensured a cohesive narrative and a complete story of the construction process.

  • Highlighting Craftsmanship and Sustainability: The process emphasized the craftsmanship and the environmentally conscious decisions made in building these cabins.

  • Storytelling Through Visuals: The challenge was to not only document technical work but to tell a compelling story through visuals, making the audience feel as though they were there experiencing each phase of the build.


Snaps From the Project

The team did an incredible job capturing every step of our journey in building these luxurious mountain cabins. From the moment the trees were felled to the final touches on the interior, they were there, documenting the entire process with an eye for detail and artistry. The final video beautifully showcases the hard work, dedication, and passion that went into creating these cabins, while also highlighting the natural beauty of Saint-Béatrix. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and look forward to future collaborations.
