Away — "The Carry-On Story." A four-minute brand film, shot in eleven countries, finished in twelve days.
The Brief
Away came to us with a problem: their existing brand film had been shot in-studio, in soft daylight, with models. It looked like every other luggage brand. The new CMO wanted a master cut that felt like a documentary — real travelers, real airports, the small friction of moving through the world with a bag you actually trust.
The Approach
We deployed two directors across eleven cities over a sixteen-day window, shooting on RED Komodo with vintage Cooke S4 glass. The 7-phase Brief-to-Broadcast framework collapsed the usual three rounds of revisions into one. Every frame was color-graded in-house by our senior colorist.

01
Discovery & Brief
A two-day workshop with Away's CMO and brand team to translate the strategic brief into a treatment, a shot list, and a delivery matrix covering every platform the master cut would be atomized into.

02
Pre-Production
Eleven-city location scouting, casting of fifteen real travelers (no professional actors), permitting, and a single unified production schedule. All travel logistics run by our in-house production managers.

Principal Photography
Sixteen shoot days across two continents. RED Komodo + Cooke S4 glass. Two directors working in parallel. 84 hours of raw footage delivered to our senior editor every evening through the client portal.

Post & Finish
In-house edit, in-house color grade, original score composed by a Brooklyn-based composer. Master cut locked in nine business days. Atomized into twelve platform-native deliverables — :60, :30, :15, :06, plus 1:1 and 9:16 re-cuts.
The Outcome
The four-minute master cut became the centerpiece of Away's 2024 holiday campaign and the embedded hero on their homepage. It is, by client-reported metrics, the highest-recall asset in their paid social rotation — a 3.4x lift in brand recall measured against their previous brand film.
