Aesop // Spec Ad Experiment
For this film, I wanted to push the quality to replicate a TVC. No extravagant characters or excessive animation, just something that focuses on creating a luxurious feeling for an iconic product that I love.

I have used the product for years without ever truly thinking about it's ingredients. So, I created a short film to explore its main elements and where they came from while focusing on showcasing the brand's commitment to quality and creating somewhat of a feeling of everyday luxury.

String out of footage.
Alt takes because it's worth seeing some of the distortions and seeing the range of camera moves that SDV1.1 produces. All of them are limited to 3 second clip length but can be extended via Topaz Video.
