Liners in Koh-Lanta
Francis Côté thus explained to our colleagues from Le Parisien: “In the camps, we generally have pairs of cameramen, sometimes there can be three. At night, it’s more like just one. A major challenge is the sound. No candidate is equipped with a microphone, so for every cameraman, there is a sound engineer who works with a boom“he revealed.
Francis Coté then explained that stunt doubles were chosen on set: “On a case-by-case basis, we return images with silhouettes (stand-ins for candidates with similar physique). Sometimes I need to have very close-ups of hands, of a gesture, it can also be used for credits to take slow motion images, etc. This is generally done at the end of the test or the next day.“, did he declare.
