A stunning collaboration with National Geographic, Andy Mann, and Costa Sunglasses, capturing the magic of Chile’s remote Juan Fernández Archipelago.⁠

Our team led the post-production process in telling the story of National Geographic photographer Andy Mann diving deep with the elusive and endemic Juan Fernández fur seals. His goal was to capture beautiful photographs in order to highlight the success story of this species. And our goal was to tell the story of his journey and passion for preservation.

Through close collaboration with Andy and producers at National Geographic, our editors shaped the story in a way that helped viewers connect to Andy's mission. Through awe-inspiring imagery, stirring music, and immersive sound design, these pieces brought this wild moment to life.

The second story we told was celebrating World Oceans Day, highlighting Andy's love for exploring the rich marine ecosystem surrounding the Juan Fernández islands. Home to some of the most unique species of fish, the locals practice sustainable fishing methods to preserve such a diverse habitat.

This isn't just a story of the thriving marine life, but also of the people of Chile's efforts to protect it. It's an example National Geographic wanted to highlight and share across their social channels, which brought high engagement and viewership across various platforms.
