Super late on sharing these, but really proud of the work this entire team did on these spots. The campaign won Silver at the @clioawards in 2025. Thanks so much to my incredible camera and G&E crew that made it all possible.

@itsjonschwartz always wanted something visual to signal our character’s “lightbulb” moment, so we combined a subtle dolly zoom using a Cabrio 19-90mm and a light cue that involved dimming up a hair light and adding warm glow from below the lens. Swipe to see the before and after. Swipe to the end for a fun look at our previz, shot with @cadrageapp and starring Jon and my cat, Gary.
