The brief
A three-film brand campaign for Nescafé Espresso Concentrate, built as a Previz-driven project. The brief asked for a single, repeatable moment that could fork into three distinct endings: a spotlight, a pour, a sip — then the interruption. AIM choreographed the hero beat as a shared template in Previz before the shoot, so the lighting, camera, and timing stay identical while the punchline changes.
We call the approach a modular ritual: one room, one camera move, one lighting arc, three intrusions. The first half of every spot is a fixed variable — the glass, the spotlight, the silence — so the second half can be swapped like a reel change. The Previz made that swap legible early: we could watch the dog, the friend, and the announcer versions side-by-side and confirm the rhythm held before committing to production.
Dog: she is interrupted mid-sip by a golden retriever angling for attention. Friend: a friend wanders in and asks why there is a spotlight on her. Announcer: a voiceover begins to narrate the moment, and she politely asks him to let her enjoy the drink. Each ending is a different tone, but the camera never flinches; the spotlight remains the product claim.
The campaign was finished as a system rather than a set of one-offs. One hero frame, one grade, one edit grammar — scaled to sequential social, broadcast cutdowns, and out-of-home stills derived from the same light.
