Second Shift. Harlow Co.
A fictional commission built to show prospects what the full creative process looks like from brief to delivery. Every section below reflects how we actually work.
Client brief
What Harlow Co. asked for
Harlow Co. is a Brooklyn-based sustainable streetwear brand. Their target customer was buying the clothes but not feeling seen in any of the brand's existing content. The brief was direct: make a film about someone who wears Harlow because it fits their actual life, not the life advertising typically assigns them. Ninety seconds, no voiceover, no text overlay, ready for Instagram and a homepage hero.
Story development
The angle we developed
We built around one character. Damien, a warehouse crew supervisor in Bed-Stuy who commutes home after an 11pm close, stops at a bodega on Jefferson Avenue, and walks the last six blocks in whatever weather is happening. Not a hero's journey. A Tuesday night. The story is that the clothes belong there, in that context, without announcement.
The brief's mistake would have been to film someone wearing streetwear in aspirational spaces. That's advertising. The story is the opposite: the jacket earns nothing. It just fits.

Visual direction
Cinematic specs
Optics
Leica Summilux-C, 35mm equivalent, T1.4. The close-focus rendering turns subway car fluorescence into something almost amber. Every exterior street shot uses the 50mm position for a slightly compressed, observational feel. No wide angles: this story is not about the city as spectacle.
Color and grade
Tungsten-balanced, +300K push in the grade to read warm against night exteriors. The grade pulls deep blue-blacks in shadow while midtones push toward copper and burnt orange. Neon signage bleeds into anamorphic bokeh in every exterior background.
Grain and format
Kodak Vision3 500T grain simulation, medium-coarse, applied to highlights and midtones only. Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 anamorphic. The wider frame gives the exterior shots room to breathe and makes the tight bodega interior feel deliberate by contrast.
Camera movement
Mostly static or very slow push. The city moves. The camera watches. This is a film about someone comfortable in their environment, so the camera does not perform urgency. One handheld sequence on the subway platform: intentional, not default.
Scene excerpt
Scene 3: The bodega
Interior, Jefferson Avenue, 11:40pm
The overhead fluorescents cut the room into thirds: the warm zone near the deli counter, the harsh zone by the fridges, and a dead zone in the middle where nothing flatters anyone. Damien moves through all three in one continuous shot. He knows the counter guy. The exchange is seven words. He counts change from a jacket pocket without looking at his hand. The camera holds at counter level, slightly below eye line, and never cuts.
The Harlow jacket moves the way it's supposed to move. That's the product claim. No copy needed.
The full treatment runs 8 pages and covers 11 scenes. This is scene 3 of 11.
