A classic get-ready montage as our leads prepare to attend the Gala. This is full 70’s glamour, taking elements such as lighting and décor into the scenes to amplify that this is the opening to a celebratory night.

Sam note: “Creating a treatment for this opening video was a dream. I was inspired by Soul Train, The Get Down, Diana Ross, Joan Jett, 1970’s Kohls catalogues and Sylvester. I wanted it to feel true to the time and using real people as inspiration was a must. We brought the party into the homes through décor and lighting. Filters added to the vintage and glamorous feel. This was a vibe piece for people to have time to get to their seats and set the mood for the night.”
