SC.02 Case Study

Salt & Chrome

How a 60-second spot became a small road film. Sample project — placeholder client & results.

Salt & Chrome film still Commercial · 2.39:1

Salt & Chrome

Client — Meridian Motors

Objective

Launch a heritage model to a younger audience without leaning on horsepower stats. The brief asked for feeling over spec.

Creative Concept

One car, one road, one hour of light. We treated the product as a character and the landscape as the co-star — a road film compressed into sixty seconds.

Production Approach

Two days on a remote highway, a small crew, and a schedule built entirely around golden hour. Camera car, drone, and a single anamorphic set of lenses to keep the look honest.

The Challenge

A weather window measured in minutes. We storyboarded to the sun's position and shot the hero passes first, holding the wides for the last of the light each evening.

The Result

A hero 60, three 15-second cutdowns, and a vertical set for social — one shoot, a full campaign's worth of film.

SC.05 Studio

A small studio that
takes the long take.

We started Westlight because the best work rarely comes out of the biggest room. We keep the crew tight, the taste high, and the client in the edit — where the film is actually made.

A film is a stack of decisions: where to point the camera, when to cut, what to leave out. We sweat those, because an audience feels every one — even the ones they can't name.

We shoot commercials, brand films, and documentary. We're happiest on the projects where craft is the strategy — where being genuinely good at this is the whole point.
