    Smooth slow orbit around her

    She leans her head against the window as golden city light slides over her face and she smiles faintly.

The brief

A headphone ad about quiet. A packed morning train is loud and chaotic until she puts the headphones on, and the whole world drops into slow, silent calm.

Visual style

Lifestyle tech commercial, shallow depth of field, cool blue train interior with warm window light. Chaotic handheld energy that resolves into smooth still frames.
