Real-life SFX. No CGI. Shot in-camera.


What if applying a body cream could feel like a moment of teleportation? This commercial explores the transformative ritual of self-care — inspired by the textures, the scents, and the sensation of being by the sea.


Developed as a spec piece for Rituals, this short visual poem was shot entirely with real-life effects, slow motion, and in-camera techniques. The goal: to evoke the feeling of calm, presence, and sensuality that defines the Rituals brand world.
