01 — THE REEL
THE REEL
Four rooms. Scroll down, move sideways. None of it was approved by a committee.

One line on a whiteboard that makes the room go quiet.
Eighteen hours, four setups, and the take nobody planned.
Ninety minutes of rushes become thirty seconds that land.
It airs. Thumbs stop. Someone sends it to a friend unprompted.
Four rooms. Scroll down, move sideways. None of it was approved by a committee.
THE SHOWREEL
Everything we made people stop for, cut down to the parts that still hurt.
Boards before budgets. Shoot for the edit, not for the board. Then cut until it hurts, and cut once more.

Everything that did not survive the edit. Kept, because most of the good ideas started here.
Six runners, four cities, one night each. No lighting we did not find already on the street. The brief asked for a stadium; we gave them the hours nobody else is awake for.
No cuts, no voiceover, and no music until the last twelve seconds. Four attempts, one usable. The restraint was the whole concept, and the client held their nerve.
Every chorus degrades the picture a little further — grain, then tearing, then loss. Done in camera and on tape. Nothing was added in post that we could break on set.
A channel of generated visuals and nonsense weather reports, running for two years. No brief, no client, no analytics. It is where about half our good ideas start.
The cutting room is allowed to be a mess. Everything pinned to this wall still has a position, a rotation and a reason. Downstairs, the edit is immaculate.
TAPE FAULT. Head alignment has drifted. This is intentional and will not be repaired.
