Health & Wellness Spa:

HIGH LEVEL CONCEPT:

The film is based on a sensory experience with sound and smell to play a major part to convey the different experience and uses that the spa will offer residents of the development. (Due to Covid the changing fragrance we had planned to create got cancelled as the display suite was not open)

It was important that we captured the contrast in use of space within the complex -for example; how you feel, what you hear and smell when you work out in the gym and then the complete opposite emotions when you use the spaces/facilities in the building to relax, repair and unwind. Contrast in pace, energy, light and tone. So many great contrasts to play with within the whole precinct.

HIGH LEVEL SCRIPT:

Scene 2: Spa reception/Lobby
Mood - The first transition from darker/intimate to lighter and fresh. Showing spa arrival and hints to Onsen and outdoors.

Scene 7: Techno Gym
Mood - The edit becomes the fastest (peaks) at this point to exaggerate the energy used in the gym
Sound - Probably the most intense part of the soundscape, a repetitive kick drum will carry the viewer through to a climax before a crescendo followed by calm as we exit to the outdoor pool.

Scene 8: Outdoor Pool
Mood - A complete reset, the contrast in the varied uses of the wellness centre will be evident. Serenity and calm resumes. Full Hero shots to show the expanse of space. Sunlight and shadowplay will pass across the zone.

Please note we can send you wireframe animatic, R&D for simulations, Style frames, light studies and the original motion collage we put together that won us the job.
