P&G’s Hair Recipe launches Zen-themed video
share on
P&G's hair care brand Hair Recipe has launched a video showcasing its products with rich nutrition.
The film depicts the craftsmanship and dedication that go with the brand's philosophy with discerning Japanese aesthetics, demonstrating the brand's story as it offers different recipes for hair with a wide range of products.
The camera movement throughout the film was designed to flow like a stream of water, taking the audience through the inner journey of a Zen master. Kicking off with the reflection of a Japanese Zen garden in quiet water ripples, the video then reveals the hands of a Japanese master, whose silhouette guides viewers to the close-up shots of her hands’ craftsmanship and treatment of fruit recipes.
After that, viewers then follow the master through imaginary time and space to a wall hosting a selection of jars where the final recipe is created.
”Authenticity is of paramount importance to us. It’s critical that our leading lady is the true embodiment of Japanese mastery to portray dedication and focus, sophistication, Zen, and stillness. We are extremely happy with this bold choice of talent," said Duanmu, director of Sweetshop Shanghai.
