/ About the project

When Cutwater came to us for their Spring/Summer 2026 campaign, the ask was ambitious: 8 distinct product / lifestyle spots, photo included, all shot in a single day. That kind of challenge is where we thrive. We built a lean, fast-moving crew purpose-built for efficiency without sacrificing creative quality: locking in cast, location, shot lists, and a precise production rhythm that let us move through setups quickly while keeping the energy on set exactly where it needed to be.

The creative demanded variety: different products, different moods, different moments, different ways of experiencing the product across a full season of summer socializing. To pull that off in one day, every department had to be in lockstep. We paired our streamlined crew approach with an arsenal of specialty camera rigs, including a 360 spin rig, jib, custom POV rig, probe lens, and curved tracking dolly; giving each spot its own visual identity and kinetic feel without burning the clock. By the time we wrapped, we had 8 polished campaign spots and a full photo library in the can.
