Halcyon Audio — 2026
Static & Light
About the project
Halcyon wanted a launch film for their flagship headphones that felt less like a product spot and more like a séance for sound. We built a black-box studio set, lit it with a single moving tungsten source, and shot the entire piece in-camera — no compositing, just haze, glass and patience. The 60-second hero cut ran in cinemas before IMAX screenings; a 15-second cutdown carried the paid social campaign.
