Fitbit’s sleep series was about more than rest, it was about trust. Kumo London joined the production team as an embedded partner, supporting the director, talent and cinematography team to realise a vision of calm, care and clarity.
Filmed in London Fields, East London, and fronted by Felix Leistow and Reece Parkinson, the campaign required minimalism with impact visual intimacy, technical fluency and timing that flowed with breath.
STRATEGIC INSIGHT
Some stories don’t need volume, they need sensitivity. This campaign called for technical steadiness and emotional control, someone to track natural light, respond to the talent’s emotional rhythm and support fast-moving setups across tight schedules.
Kumo London provided camera assistance, emotional presence on set, and support for lens transitions and lighting modulation in vulnerable scenes. We operated as a steadying force, bridging creative intention and real-time production flow.
WHY THIS MATTERS
At Kumo London, authorship isn’t just about shouting louder, it’s about listening better. Fitbit Premium’s campaign was a reminder that quiet confidence behind the camera often invites deeper storytelling in front of it. This project was a masterclass in presence, timing and emotional care. Contributors responded to our quiet clarity with trust, a reminder that presence behind the camera often shapes how stories are felt, not just seen.
