GLOW – Movement Direction for Vademecum | Antica

GLOW is a movement direction product campaign for Vademecum | Antica, focused on authenticity, presence, and physical clarity.
The project combines carefully staged set design with natural physical expression, placing movement at the core of the visual language.
Movement direction focused on guiding models toward authentic posing rather than fixed positions. Instead of static gestures, the bodies were shaped to feel grounded and believable within the constructed environment. This approach allowed the product—Vademecum toothpaste—to integrate naturally into the scenes without overpowering the performers.
In addition to individual posing, movement direction played a key role in group compositions. Spatial arrangements, interactions, and shared rhythms were developed to create coherence across images. Attention was given to how bodies relate to one another, to the set design, and to the product within the frame.
Throughout the production, movement direction ensured consistency across different setups and camera perspectives. By aligning physical behavior with visual concept, the campaign achieves a balance between precise staging and natural presence.
GLOW demonstrates how movement direction can elevate product photography by adding depth, authenticity, and narrative clarity—allowing both bodies and objects to communicate with intention.

As a movement director Marie Zechiel researches, develops and instructs sophisticated movement and body languages for a project aiming to create a suitable and unique physical narrative that raises production quality and authenticity.
In exchange with the director and team she proposes a motion vocabulary and choreography which fits best to the project’s vision, before she develops specific training methods and teaches all necessary skills to the performers (e.g. actors, singers, dancers, models, extras).
Especially on set with the production Marie Zechiel is a valuable motion supervisor to translate last-minute improvements as a movement director. Her skill-set includes underwater movement, cross-gendered movements and chorus work as well as doing choreographies in different dance styles.
Her field of work is specialised in camera productions such as commercials, music videos, photo shootings but also fashion shows and gallery spaces and the movement mentoring for artists. As a Choreographer and Movement Director Marie Zechiel has been involved in many music videos, commercial shoots and fashion shows. Clients include: VOGUE, Calvin Klein, Longines, Heidi Klum, Nina Chuba, Herbert Grönemeyer, Rolls Royce.
