Aaron Jagdfeld - Jewel Bait (short film/spec ad)

Once in a while my friend Aaron Jagdfeld text me about his ideas and videos he wants to work on, I'm always game for that because I get to create something from scratch with full creative freedom.
This short film /spec ad started out as a small idea of showing off jigs, and more specifically, one of Aaron's sponsors - Jewel Bait.
Selling product is boring to me, so I had to figure out a way to make the video more valuable to the viewer. We came up with a concept that, hopefully, could be interpreted as inspirational and relatable.
It took us a couple of trips to make it work. Majority of the used shots came from the second day because we didn't really have a plan in the beginning.
The edit seemed pretty simple, but spending some time on sound design helped to bring everything together. I chose not to go overboard with color grading. I'm still not good at it, but I did enough to bring out the natural look that was captured in camera.
Hope you enjoyed this one!
