03Concept

The Beat Before. Cut to a single rhythm: heartbeat becomes breath, breath becomes a drum, the drum becomes the starting gun. Black and white turns to color the moment she moves.

Why it works

The insight is the heartbeat before the start. Cutting the whole film to one rhythm turns that heartbeat into the structure of the spot.
