The brief

Kestrel’s new trainer is soft, bouncy and very red. The brief was one line: make people want to go outside. No athletes, no finish lines, no heavy breathing.

What we made

We cast forty people from a Lisbon running club, put them in mismatched socks and filmed their feet on a red floor for two days. The edit follows the rhythm of their steps, and the colour grade stays warm from the first frame to the last.

What the client said

It's the first product film our own staff shared without being asked.
