Event Film

ADNOC

For the second year running, we teamed up with ADNOC to create a dream-like event film, opening with a young man rediscovering the magic of nature, and closing with two children discovering it for the first time. Capturing the essence of child-like wonder to reignite the feeling of discovery. Because change is always felt.

Cinema Advert

Aesop

Working with the in-house creative director at cult-skincare brand Aēsop to create a cinema advert inspired by the French New Wave. Beautiful black-and-white imagery, Alphaville focus pulls, and a cast of characters in the brand’s famous stores. Emphasising the iconic brand's clean art-world cool. Also screened in stores from Paris to Beijing, and Aesop's first advert too.

TVC

EXCELERATE

A brand-rep commercial centred on energy security in the developing world. Epic-scale infrastructure, brought down to the human level with beautiful documentary-meets-advert cinematography and street casting. An ATL commercial that is grounded, human, and emotive, with a new brand voice designed for down-the-line campaigns.

Event Film

Limedrop

For L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Week we took Limedrop's digitally-woven fabrics inspired by clouds, out into a burnt forest now bursting with new life. Ethereal imagery, a drifty electronic score and their new collection. All playing across giant screens as the models walked the runway.
