Nha Trang
The brief
Two films from one beachfront resort — one for the destination, one for families.
InterContinental Nha Trang sits on the seafront of Tran Phu, the long beach road of this Vietnamese coastal city. The commission was two short films finished to the InterContinental brand: a hotel-and-destination film carrying the property’s design, service and the city around it, and a separate family film built around a stay with children — plus vertical cuts for social. The brief was deliberately restrained: let the spaces, the light and the service speak, rather than crowding the frame.
The approach
The look was editorial and built on golden hour — shooting around sunrise and sunset to play light and shadow across the architecture, with moving shots and moving water keeping every frame alive. Sound carried the destination: ocean, birds, the texture of the place, under emotive music rather than stock score. The hotel film leaned on the building and genuine staff moments — a concierge’s welcome, a chef’s final touch, a therapist’s ritual — then opened out into Nha Trang itself: the temple, the craft village, fishermen on the water. The family film told a small story — arrival, the children’s welcome, the kids’ club, parents by the sea, room service at bedtime — directed to feel caught rather than staged. The resort signed off warmly, hoping to work together again.

How it was used
