Popular German science show Galileo films in Brazil

Romero&Braas hires Story Productions to shoot a video in São Paulo about the five things that Brazilians can’t live without, for German television show Galileo


German television network ProSieben has been broadcasting its popular youth science show ‘Galileo’ for decades. The production sets out to answer important questions such as how birthdays are celebrated around the world or what people eat for breakfast. These video reports shot around the world are a highlight of the presenter-led studio show and include a regular strand about the “Five things you cannot live without” in countries around the world. Watch the 5 things revealed:

The countries that have been in the spotlight for this strand to date include Kenya, Mongolia, Albania, China, Thailand and South Korea to name just a few. Brazil is the latest, and that’s where Story Productions comes in. Mexico-based production services company Romero&Braas hired Story Productions to research the five things that Brazilians can’t live without, and shoot a sequence for each item. 


The shoot took place in early October, and involved a field producer, sound engineer and DoP from Story Productions. In the run-up to the shoot, we carried out detailed pre-production work, from casting protagonists to researching shoot locations. 


Romero&Braas provided a detailed shooting script for the Story crew to film, including plenty of B-roll footage around the city, drone footage of a farmers market and beauty shots of the five items in focus. We filmed at three locations over the course of a 2-day shoot, not including the drone and B-roll footage. It was intense but both cast and crew had fun, especially filming the segments that involved food.
