Vanta was entering a category owned by two giants. The launch film had to make a small brand feel inevitable — and show waterproofing nobody could film safely on a prototype.

Launch film, Stills, Social cuts

Shooting the impossible

Ocean spray, a dropped-from-a-bike sequence and a frozen-lake plunge: all simulated, all on a camera that hadn’t passed waterproof testing yet.

Twenty-six cuts

The master film was built modular so the team could cut twenty-six placements — from a 6-second bumper to a 90-second keynote opener — in a single afternoon.
