/ OVERVIEW

In this film, we wanted to highlight what makes Venture unique. Venture is an adventurer, dedicated to fiercely protecting historical artefacts (often finding a way to involve their signature drilling in doing so). But we were committed to also highlighting their youthful charm, showcasing the human behind the drill... We wanted Venture's debut to be as impactful as possible so we kept things simple to allow for the optimal blend of clarity and quality. Drawing inspiration from TV shows like Samauri Jack, famous for their spectacular but simple style, allowed us to make space for the narrative, leaving the rest relatively abstract.
