MARDAN PALACE ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO RECORD

PixSync Mardan Palace Architectural Photography and Videography

In March 2009, PixSync was deployed to Turkey to carry out a photographic and video record of a newly constructed musical water fountain for the 5-Star Mardan Palace Hotel based in Antalya. The Hotel is a luxury hotel in Lara, built by Azerbaijani billionaire Telman Ismailov. It was opened on 23 May 2009 and attended by Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey, Sharon Stone, Richard Gere, Monica Bellucci, Seal, Tom Jones and the Kazakhstani President Nursultan Nazarbayez. The Hotel built at a cost of US$2 billion dollars is considered as Europe’s and the Mediterranean’s most expensive luxury resort. The hotel has the Mediterranean’s largest swimming pool within which is a sunken aquarium containing 2,400 fishes. The hotel has 560 rooms, a 12,000 sq ft spa, and its own beach containing 9,000 tons of sand imported from Egypt.

Together with a 3 man crew, the team successfully carried out the photography and video assignment over a 5 day period. The team had a number of logistical obstacles to over come. There were a number of bulkier equipments that had to be brought up and prepared for the assignment. These included the video boom lift, rail tracks, gyroscope and supporting photographic equipments (medium format). Security on the premises were tight and factoring that most of the filming had to be carried out in the evenings, it was crucial that all the video and photo equipments were deployed at various strategic vantage points, knowing that there was a wide ground that had to be covered.

“PixSync continues to value all to its strong customer base with its integrated professional photo and video services. Over the course of the project, the team worked closely with the client and coordinating bodies (Project Managers). The logistical planning (accommodation and transport) was carried out most in part by PixSync. Strong project management is the key to a successful assignment. Our photo and video equipment are mostly mobile and the team continues to be able to deploy rapidly, serving regions like Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia,” said Terran Tang, Founder of PixSync Photography.
