Making a video is like making a song. Nobody hears the 40 takes. They hear the one. Same with a film and video. You cut and cut and cut, and what's left has to do two things: be a version you'd defend, and be a version that's theirs. Landing both at once is the job. I've got folders of ideas that never shipped. Openings, transitions, a color that was wrong for this one. They become vocabulary for the next brief. Some behind the scenes on what didn't make the cut, but will shape another one someday.
