New York, New York.
Client: The Langham, New York
Project: Website Film
Services: Concept development, direction, cinematography, editing, colour grading.
After our work with The Langham London, the New York team got in touch. They wanted to bring the same elevated storytelling to their Fifth Avenue hotel.
The brief was to create a cinematic website film that would welcome guests the moment they arrived on the website and reflect the personality of the hotel and city without needing to say a word.
What makes The Langham, New York unique is its unbeatable location. Right on Fifth Avenue with views of the Empire State Building from the rooms. It’s ay hotel where you can lie in the bath and look out at one of the most iconic buildings in the world and when you venture out their so much to discover.
We led the creative from concept through to the colour grade. We worked closely with the Langham team to make sure the film reflected both the brand and the city around it. Our goal was to create something exciting and inviting. Something that reflects how it actually feels to experience a stay.
This wasn’t about showing off every feature. It was about creating the right mood. Getting the pacing right. Knowing when to hold on a frame and when to move. We leaned into those moments of calm and space that luxury allows. And we tied it all together with natural light, thoughtful framing and a gentle sense of rhythm.
What came out of it was a piece of film that doesn’t push or sell. It simply invites. And lets the hotel speak for itself.
Bonus: Festive video.
While we were on location, we were also asked to create a festive version of the film to run in the lead-up to Christmas. We’re always keen to make the most of time on site, so we planned it in alongside the main shoot. The festive cut brought a warmer, more seasonal feel to the same story, designed to attract guests during one of the busiest and most atmospheric times of year.
Bonus: Club Video.
We also filmed a short film for the exclusive Langham Club Lounge, a private Fifth Avenue retreat offering personalised service, elevated dining, and calm away from the city buzz.
