01 / THE BRIEF

Edit the launch campaign for the Abu Dhabi National Orchestra, transforming a large body of auditions, interviews, rehearsals, performances, and observational footage into a series of artistic social films that introduced the orchestra with a fresh and contemporary visual identity.

02 / THE PROBLEM

The project involved reviewing and organizing a substantial volume of footage spanning multiple formats and shooting styles. The challenge was identifying the strongest emotional and visual moments while moving beyond a traditional documentary approach, creating social content that felt expressive, experimental, and culturally sophisticated.

03 / THE SENIOR JUDGEMENT

Rather than focusing solely on the chronology of the orchestra's journey, we built each piece around rhythm, emotion, and visual composition. Music became the driving force behind the edit, allowing performances, interviews, and atmospheric moments to flow together through an editorial language that felt cinematic, abstract, and emotionally engaging.

A Diverse Archive of Footage Transformed

The campaign introduced the Abu Dhabi National Orchestra through a distinctive series of social films that balanced artistic expression with storytelling. The edits transformed a diverse archive of footage into visually compelling content that reflected the creativity, ambition, and cultural significance of the orchestra's launch.
