behind the scenes — promotional footage
“When you have a platform like EASTPAK, Ancienne Belgique, or Psst Mlle, it’s important to help and elevate others and give them a voice”
— SHAÏNE FROM THE BRUSSELS-BASED COLLECTIVE PSST MLLE FOR ENFTS TERRIBLES

THE CHALLENGE
Adapt AB’s 3D event direction into a real life campaign that captured the talent’s bold spirit and embodied Psst Mlle’s values of inclusion, strength, and greatness — spotlighting an Eastpak bag designed to raise funds.

THE SOUNDTRACK
The campaign was built around the creatures of French 3D artist Bora Murmure, creator of the poster promoting the launch event at the iconic Brussels venue Ancienne Belgique.
THE PROCESS
In the shoot, it was Shaïne, member of Psst Mlle, who naturally embodied the bold, unapologetic presence at the heart of the project.
We had the perfect blend to highlight and capture.
THE SILVER LINING
We are here,
colorful and gorgeous,
and we’re standing tall.
Shaïne and Bora’s fierce way to show :
“Hey, it’s me.” Wide camera angles, playful and freeing poses taking over the space, cinematic lighting, colorful confident makeup, and a bold, dramatic presence.
