Jean-Claude Labrecque in the Office

famous Quebec director Jean-Claude Labrecque was at the office today!
SHAPE president Mylene Girard, as a previous camera assistant, had the opportunity to work with him several times.
the documentary "À Hauteur d'homme" was the breaking point for SHAPE. Jean-Claude & Mylene had to follow the politician Bernard Landry during his prime minister campaign. The politician didn't want to feel intimidated by the size of the cameras so he asked the crew to get a small camera. the Productions Virage decided to get the little VX-1000 of Panasonic and she had to came up with a support solution for making the shooting as still as possible.
And..... SHAPE was born!
