PROCESS

For this set of commercials, the idea was to break away from a typical, modern and sleek look. To really sell the idea of relaxing with the headphones on, the style needed to be more mellow and freeform; indicative of jazz or soothing music.

Initial storyboard for the full, 30-second commercial.

Using the more freeform style enhances the visual storytelling; showing a night-and-day difference. The viewer sees the contrast between leaving your headphones off in a noisy environment, versus putting them on and listening to a gentle song.
