In September 2024, the naming ceremony for Explora II—the second luxury vessel by Explora Journeys—was held between the Fincantieri shipyard in Genoa and the port of Civitavecchia.
For this event, I directed a compact production team including two camera operators, a drone pilot, and an editor.We produced the official hero video of the ceremony and conducted key interviews, including one with filmmaker Giuseppe Tornatore.
The work focused on capturing the tone and atmosphere of the event with clarity, precision, and attention to rhythm.
