TRACE is a self-initiated spec commercial for a fictional fragrance brand. Where SILLAGE NOMADE explores the journey, TRACE is about what remains — the impression left behind, told through a precise and restrained visual language.

Creative Overview
The Idea
Approach
How I work.
Every spec production follows the same principle: the concept comes first, the technology serves it. The four phases describe this way of working — not a shot-by-shot record of this particular film.
- 01
Creative Brief & Concept
Self-initiated brief. Idea, tone, colour palette and pacing are defined before production begins.
- 02
Visual Development
AI-assisted image development under creative direction — key images are selected for consistency with the concept.
- 03
Motion & Composition
Camera movement, timing and sequence structure, guided by creative direction.
- 04
Editing & Finishing
Edit, colour grading, sound design and finishing — the step that turns individual shots into a film.
