Korio White

Korio White is a cinematographer based in Spain who works across a range of commercial and narrative projects. One of his recent shoots was a short film for a university focused on medical research. The story was emotional and thoughtful, and the production brought together a large team. There were more than 20 people on set, with six in the camera team, so clear communication was key to keeping things moving smoothly.

Project Background

The shoot was a commercial film centered around a simple but powerful idea: a university’s Christmas wish to find solutions for other people’s problems.They wanted the film to land emotionally, so they focused on small details—how it looked, how it moved, how it felt.

It was a big crew, and communication was bound to get tricky. The camera crew alone had a full lineup, and they were constantly on the move between shots. Locations weren’t the easiest either, such as tight corners, quick resets, not a lot of time to spare. Korio knew they needed something to keep things flowing, so he relied on the Solidcom SE to pull it all together.

On-Set Experience

The camera team had four Solidcom SE headsets to work with, and honestly, that already made a big difference. They didn’t have to yell across the set or waste time figuring out who heard what. “Everyone loved these units,” Korio said. “We were way more efficient, and we could talk to each other without making noise. Without them, it just wouldn’t have worked.”

There was no base station, but the system still held up. The system kept up without a problem. Feedback was quick and direct, and no one had to stop what they were doing just to ask a question or pass on a note.

What the Team Loved

The crew liked more than just the communication. The headsets were light and comfortable, even after a full day on set. The battery life also surprised them. “The batteries never die,” Korio said. “They last for hours and charge quickly.” The audio quality left a strong impression too. Someone summed it up in one line: “Completely amazing. Wow.”

Takeaways

For a story that called for quiet and care, the set had to reflect that. But with over 20 people moving between locations and departments, staying in sync wasn’t simple. Korio knew they couldn’t afford confusion or raised voices, especially with how delicate the tone of the film was. The Solidcom SE helped keep things steady. It let the team check in without interrupting the flow, and it never drew attention to itself. That was the point. No one had to think about the gear. It just worked, and that gave everyone a little more room to focus on the work in front of them.
