A launch film shot after dark — one car, wet asphalt, and the city as a lighting rig.

Overview

A performance coupe deserved more than a spec sheet. Shot across three nights in Montreal, Night Shift is a launch film built on reflections, negative space, and restraint — the car revealed in fragments before it is ever seen whole.

Approach

We treated the city as the gaffer. Practical light — sodium vapor, signage, tunnels — carried every frame, with a low-mounted arm car for the driving plates and a phantom rig for the detail work. The edit holds back deliberately: no full reveal until the final ten seconds.
