A film about a $30 million home in La Jolla, and the life it could hold.
The client felt real estate videos were starting to look alike. There were plenty of polished images and impressive camera moves, but often very little story or emotion.
For Candlelight Drive, he gave us the creative freedom to take a different approach. We wanted viewers to imagine living in the home, not just admire its architecture.
We followed a couple through a day in La Jolla: time by the water, quiet moments at home, friends coming over and an evening beside the fire. The house remained central, revealed through the people moving through it and the moments they shared.
Synchronous developed and produced the film alongside a broader collection of sales, behind-the-scenes, social and FPV content.
