About the Client
Tranya is a headphone brand that sought to create a commercial that transcends mere feature showcases, aiming instead to infuse the brand with belief and emotion. The founder, Taylor, an avid audio enthusiast, has focused on enhancing the sound quality of wireless devices through successive product generations.
The Goal (Client Requirement)
Our team developed a concept that highlights how sound can evoke powerful memories. We focused on a key idea: Tranya earphones aren’t just for listening to music; they are about experiencing sound in its purest form. We encapsulated this concept visually in a way that goes beyond listing features; it had to tell a story that would tug at the viewer’s heartstrings.
The Challenge
To deliver Tranya’s vision, we focused on Taylor—a character whose lifelong pursuit of the perfect sound mirrors Tranya’s own journey. He once played in a band and had the chance to listen to his band’s demo on a tape machine—an experience that inspired his lifelong quest for superior headphones. Fast forward to his middle-aged self: he discovers Tranya’s headphones. The quality of the sound is so impressive that it sends him back in time, making him feel as if he is conversing with his younger self, reliving that pivotal moment all over again.
The challenging part was casting actors who could convincingly portray Taylor at different stages of his life. Additionally, we aimed to showcase the nostalgia that Tranya evokes through sound. We needed to create an authentic vintage feel for the scene, so we sourced old cassette tapes and players to craft an immersive vintage atmosphere in the scene, adding layers of realism to our story.
The Solution
We blended nostalgia and modernity to capture Tranya’s immersive auditory experience. For the lighting, we created a dramatic light change to depict the transformation of time: as Taylor closes his eyes, the harsh daylight shifts to an edgy neon glow, shifting in era and mood.
Overall, our team crafted a video that highlighted the emotional connection and transformative power of sound—a testament to the essence of Tranya’s timeless brand.
