Concept work, an invented brand

APOGEE, a zero-gravity film

A launch film for over-ear headphones, named for the highest point of an orbit. Every part floats in weightless slow motion, then locks into place: the titanium disc, the two halves of the headband, and finally the whole object at once. The finished headphones were designed and locked first, then taken apart into an exploded view, so the parts always add up to exactly the same object.

Toolset: Nano Banana 2 for the product design, exploded view and keyframes, Kling 3 for motion (each assembly animated between a locked start frame and a locked end frame), ElevenLabs for sound design with every click timed to the frame the part seats, and an edit and mix in ffmpeg. 24 seconds, delivered at 16:9 and 9:16.

The film, 16:9, with sound.

From one object to eight parts

APOGEE is an invented brand, designed for this portfolio. The product, the film and the sound are all original work.
