The Ordinary

The Ordinary · Periodic Fable

The Ordinary explores product science in the commercial project Periodic Fable, developed alongside Uncommon Creative Studio. The film captures a diverse ensemble of subjects situated in a clinical studio environment, wearing lab coats and applying metallic treatments under stark, cool fluorescent lighting. Directed by Olivia De Camps with cinematography by Peter Bishop, the piece leans into a desaturated aesthetic. Intercut graphic elements featuring chemical-style typography and concepts like Wrinkle Erasing frame the action, utilizing live-action technique to highlight the brand's formula-focused identity.
