Paris, bottled.
A sun-soaked social campaign for Juliette, a French peach liqueur, built around the effortless romance and everyday electricity of Paris. Rather than treating the city as a backdrop, I wanted it to feel like a character—warm, flirtatious, slightly chaotic, and alive.
The piece moves through streets, cafés, stolen glances, passing faces, architecture, and small moments of Parisian life, using a loose, observational shooting style and rhythmic editing to create something that feels less like a traditional liquor ad and more like a memory from a particularly good afternoon.
I directed, shot, and edited the campaign with an emphasis on texture, movement, color, and atmosphere, translating Juliette's distinctly French identity into a piece of lifestyle storytelling designed to make the audience want the feeling surrounding the product as much as the product itself.

I wanted to create something that felt like a lost classic American historical epic but with one major limitation: there is nowhere to hide behind a cut.
The Last Blade is a continuous one-take sword battle where the camera moves directly through a massive medieval battlefield, following one warrior from the muddy front lines, through a castle gate, into a chaotic courtyard, and finally into a final duel.
Every movement was designed to feel physically connected. Sword clashes, charging horses, collapsing structures, smoke, rain, fire, and close-quarters combat become natural moments for the camera to move through the environment without breaking the shot.
The challenge wasn't simply making a big battle.
It was asking:
How cinematic can a battle feel when the camera is never allowed to cut?
I wanted the final result to feel like a scene from a huge old-school Hollywood sword film raw, physical, dramatic, and completely immersive — while pushing Seedance 2.5 to create the kind of continuous camera choreography that would normally require an entire production team and dozens of shots.
Nice fight!
This was my first draft. After this version, I created three more drafts and kept refining the idea, pacing, continuity, and overall look with each attempt. I tested different approaches to make the sequence feel smoother and more consistent from start to finish.
After reviewing all the versions, I selected the strongest elements and created the final render, which is the version you can see in the repost.
Perfect results don’t come from being perfect at the start. They come from improving along the way, learning from each attempt, and putting in a little more effort each time. With enough consistency, everyone can create something they’re proud of.
