STUDIO183 Speck Commercial with dancers

In the commercial for fashion concept store 183, directed by Angelo van de Wiel, the creative vision was brought to life through the dynamic choreography and movement direction of Marie Zechiel. Marie s role was central to the production, as she not only crafted the movement and dance sequences but also played a key part in the casting process, ensuring that each performer perfectly aligned with the aesthetic and energy of the commercial. Marie s involvement began with the casting, where her keen eye for talent was crucial in selecting the three dancers who would bring the concept to life. She focused on finding individuals who not only had strong technical skills but who could also embody the store’s brand identity through their movement. Each dancer was chosen for their unique ability to convey the fluidity, elegance, and modernity that 183 represents. Once the cast was in place, Marie turned her attention to the choreography and movement direction. She worked closely with the dancers to develop sequences that highlighted the clothing and accessories in a way that was both stylish and engaging. Her choreography was carefully designed to showcase the versatility and sophistication of the stores fashion offerings while maintaining a strong visual narrative. Marie Zechiel s movement direction was essential in ensuring that the dancers’ performances were in perfect harmony with the commercial s overall aesthetic. She worked hand in hand with director Angelo van de Wiel to synchronize the movement with the camera angles, lighting, and set design. The result was a seamless integration of dance and fashion, where every movement enhanced the visual appeal of the commercial and effectively communicated the brand’s message.
