The project
Behind the edit
Maya came with 9 hours of footage from a two-week road trip. The goal: a long-form episode that holds attention from the first second to the last.
We restructured the story around three cliffhangers, added map animations, ambient sound beds and a warm film grade. Average view duration grew 64% compared to her previous uploads.
