Two days on Aera
What survived from the moodboard, what changed on set, and the wardrobe swap that rewrote everything.
Aera came in with a clean brief and an unusually short list: six looks, in our voice. We used two locations in Tribeca and drove upstate on day two.
On the morning of day two we swapped the wardrobe order. The closing look opened the day. The original opener got cut. The hero frame came together inside the first hour upstate.
The board is a suggestion. The room is the truth. Most of the campaign was made on the second day.
