A Visionary Concept
It all began with a brilliant concept that seamlessly intertwined the essence of Bombay Sapphire and the iconic designs of Christian Siriano. As producers at FBC, we were tasked with turning this vision into reality, infusing it with elegance. Working with BBDO Studios, we embarked on a mission to craft a visual masterpiece that would leave a lasting impression.
New York’s Charm
Choosing the perfect location was paramount to capturing the spirit of the collaboration. With meticulous attention to detail, we scoured the vibrant streets of the West Village and sought out stylish interiors that served as the backdrop for our narrative. Each location was carefully selected to complement the product and story, adding depth and character to the commercial.
The Dress
At the heart of the collaboration was a breathtaking dress inspired by the classic French 75 cocktail. Designed by the visionary Christian Siriano himself, the dress embodied elegance and sophistication. Paired with expertly crafted cocktails, we captured the essence of Bombay Sapphire in every frame, both on the shoot and at New York Fashion Week.
Capturing Dynamic Textures
To elevate the visual experience, we incorporated motion control techniques, seamlessly blending glass, water, and ink to create mesmerizing imagery. With the help of the Bolt X, we captured the vibrant colors and textures of the dress and Bombay Sapphire, adding a dynamic element to the commercial. Special thanks to Steve Romano for his hospitality and expertise at his studio in White Plains.
Behind the Lens
None of this would have been possible without the creative vision of our director, Tobias Nathan. With a passion for storytelling and an unwavering attention to detail, Tobias orchestrated every aspect of the shoot with finesse. Fashion photographer Stephanie Pistel beautifully captured the moments between Christian Siriano and the dress, immortalizing the essence of the collaboration.
