TATCHA: The Silk Powder



Based around a diverse cast of skin tone and character, film, stills and animation bring Tatcha’s soft palette of delicate Japanese heritage to life with ‘now’ in mind to present the natural satin effects of the powder.
Equal parts product demo film and evocative campaign piece we aimed to bridge the gap between the two, relatable castings with storied but informative sequence, - while tight views to skin and rotating camera motion create more graphic compositions under background tones that directly relate to the brand.

A key part of the descriptive nature of the film was to devise and include animated segments showing the effects of the powder on skin. Devising a unique look and feel that bridged the worlds of 2D and 3D animation we balanced out Tacha’s need of tradition and hand-crafted feel with the practical modernity of the product.
Creating something truly own-able and original required a multi-stage evolution in direction and development.

Through thoughtful art direction devised for the campaign we were able to move-along Tatcha’s own visual language, specifically how they look and feel in film, but this also had implications at a social and product portrayal level in how the brand choose to move forward with their communications.
