The brief
A long-form film following two guides through a winter traverse, made to sit on the brand's site rather than in an ad break.
The constraint
Everything had to be carried. Two bodies, three lenses, no lights, no drone permit, and weather that closed in on the second morning.
What we did
- Committed to available light and a single grade built around the flat overcast, rather than fighting for a look the conditions would not give.
- Recorded the interviews on the mountain instead of in a studio afterwards — the breath and the wind are the point.
- Cut long. The client asked for four minutes; we argued for seven and showed both.
The result
Average watch time 5:48 on a 7:32 film.

“We asked for four minutes. They made the case for seven, showed us both, and were right.”
