Perfect Timing
A Fenix 6 launch that suddenly meant much more
When Beaverbrooks launched the GARMIN® Fenix 6, they needed more than a product film — they needed a story people could actually connect with. Just weeks later, the UK entered its first lockdown. With gyms closed and daily outdoor exercise becoming one of the few freedoms people still had, the Fenix 6 evolved from a premium smartwatch into a trusted companion for movement and exploration. Filming in Saddleworth, I combined cinematography with precision motion graphics and technical VFX to turn its features into a story that felt perfectly timed.
Behind the Scenes of the Fenix 6 Product Launch Film
Visual authenticity
Technology should support the adventure — not distract from it
The landscapes were never meant to overpower the product. Every location was chosen to reinforce what the GARMIN® Fenix 6 was built for: real movement in real environments. Rather than relying on dramatic spectacle, I kept the cinematography restrained — natural light, considered composition — to keep the focus on the actual experience of exploration.
Precision engineering
Building invisible visual effects around the GARMIN® Fenix 6
Every motion graphic, interface animation and CGI enhancement was built around the physical watch itself. By combining accurate product tracking with subtle visual effects, I extended the GARMIN® interface into the real world without breaking the illusion — technical clarity, without losing the authenticity of the live-action footage.
Inspired by the landscape
Creating a visual identity from the terrain itself
The surrounding landscape became part of the motion language. Contour lines, elevation graphics and subtle environmental textures informed the animation system, creating a visual style that felt naturally connected to hiking, navigation and outdoor exploration rather than simply decorating the edit.
We launched our video production on our main social channels – Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. They look so good, and we’re really, really pleased with them, so thank you very much for producing such an inspiring piece of motion design content.

The Window
A four-hour window on Indian's Head — enough for dawn in the forest and dusk on the summit

Capturing the technical soul of wearable technology
Making an effective product video takes more than showcasing features. For this GARMIN® Fenix 6 campaign with Beaverbrooks, the challenge was turning advanced wearable technology into a story that felt human, aspirational and real. Combining videography, motion design and product storytelling, I built the film to connect technical innovation with genuine outdoor adventure.

Ready For Something Similar?
If your product deserves more than a spec sheet and a studio backdrop, this is the kind of film I like making — real locations, real movement, and technical detail built in properly rather than bolted on. Wearable tech, outdoor gear, or something else entirely, I'd like to hear about it.
