CASE STUDY:
MET LIFE | 200 PARK AVE
NEW YORK
The iconic Metlife Building in New York recently underwent an extensive multimillion-dollar renovation with the primary objective of optimizing leasing opportunities. In the wake of the two-year impact of Covid-19, numerous office spaces across New York stood vacant, prompting a strategic reevaluation by building owners Tishman Speyer and The Irvine Company.
Collaborating closely with an esteemed advertising agency, Tishman Speyer sought to produce a captivating video commercial that would not only showcase the stunning redesign but also capture the essence of the building's prime location and the tranquil haven it offers amidst the bustling cityscape.
Our approach to the commercial treatment was meticulously crafted, emphasizing not only the exquisite design elements but also the unique ambiance and functionality of key areas within the building. Highlights included the sophisticated conference room, inviting lounge, state-of-the-art meeting spaces, and the elegant restaurant, each meticulously curated to appeal to prospective tenants.
To further enhance the authenticity of the commercial, careful consideration was given to selecting talent that exuded professionalism and seamlessly blended into the environment, effectively portraying individuals who could easily be envisioned as integral members of the building's vibrant community.

BEVERLY WEST RESIDENCES
BEVERLY HILLS, LOS ANGELES
The prestigious Beverly West Residences, under the ownership of Emaar, a prominent developer in the Middle East, sought to create a captivating video that not only emphasized its enviable proximity to the renowned zip code of Beverly Hills but also showcased its exceptional amenities.
Central to our approach was the spotlight on a luxurious penthouse unit boasting unparalleled panoramic views stretching from downtown to Century City, with the picturesque backdrop of the adjacent golf course. This served as a compelling focal point, enticing prospective residents with the allure of sophistication and breathtaking vistas.
Incorporating cutting-edge drone technology, we meticulously captured the architectural elegance of the building's facade, artfully highlighting its design elements against the backdrop of the stunning California landscape. From the soft hues of sunrise to the mesmerizing hues of twilight, each shot was carefully curated to showcase the building's timeless allure throughout the day.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Dubai, this architectural marvel seamlessly blends hospitality, dining, and business functionalities under one roof.
To bring this narrative to life, we crafted a captivating storyline centered around two colleagues experiencing the opulence of the Opus during their visit to Dubai. From savoring culinary delights at the eclectic restaurants to indulging in rejuvenating spa treatments, and finally, unwinding in the luxurious accommodations, every aspect of their journey showcased the diverse offerings of the building.
