One of the biggest challenges we faced during production was finding the right visual transitions—specifically from footprint to sole, and from sole to shoe.
We explored countless ideas for transitions, but many of them felt forced or overcomplicated. None of them truly captured the natural and grounded aesthetic we were aiming for. After much trial and error, we decided to simplify the approach. Instead of relying on multiple camera angles or complex movements, we kept a single, consistent perspective for a longer duration. This allowed the transitions to feel seamless and natural, staying true to the brief’s emphasis on groundedness and sensoriality. It was a reminder that sometimes less is more when it comes to visual storytelling.
A curated selection of projects that reflect our commitment to simplicity and purposeful design.
