Creating a warm look in the cold of winter

Working with a small agile film crew we shot on Sony FX9 cameras with vintage Leica R lenses for a warm look. These stills lenses have lots of character which we felt fitted the urban vibe of the brand.

Spellbinder also worked with a composer on this ad to create an original soundtrack. There were a series of challenges from capturing a BASE jump to fast action and telling the story of a ‘rider’ centric brand, whilst getting across the message about the speed of the delivery: groceries to your door in under 10 minutes.

We delivered content in 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1 aspect ratios.
