The Pitch
This Equinox campaign celebrates the raw, emotional, and unapologetically intense journey of becoming the woman you’re meant to be. We follow one woman on a heroine’s journey, a mythic odyssey to become her Future Self. As she moves through each stage, we witness all it takes. The work, strength, surrender, euphoria. She experiences a full spectrum of emotions only to realize the woman she’s been longing to be has been within her all along. Becoming isn’t about changing into someone else.
It’s about meeting who you are.
In collaboration with Art Director, Connor Kelly, and copywriter Sophie Rosenoeur, we came up with a 30 second film and priority shotlist that would capture the raw, intense moments of transformation through visceral imagery and frenetic montages. High-contrast color grading punctuated by bursts of violent, saturated color creates a visual language that mirrors the turmoil of transformation. Moments of abstract visuals evoking biological processes i.e. cells splitting, blood pumping, etc. are sprinkled in to tie back to the science-backed programming to be offered only at Equinox.
