▶ Find Inspiration and develop your ideas with Frame Set:https://go.frameset.app/3QFEmUS▶ About This Episode:Director Leon Liehr joins Dylan Hahn to break down a spec commercial featuring Headspace that was made as a student project. Leon shares how a small team used location choices, practical effects, and VFX to create the illusion of ceilings closing in, all within a three-day shoot. They talk through previs, lighting strategy, in-camera solutions, and the process of aligning a spec piece closely enough to a real brand that it gets their attention.
