The challenge

To mark the release of Zoo Magazine Issue 74 and the launch of Top Boy Season 2 on Netflix, we were brought in to create a video feature with actor Ashley Walters, alongside the editorial photoshoot.

The brief: complement the stills and highlight the Zegna clothing in the collaboration. The hard part was capturing all the video between looks - shooting quickly and seamlessly after each set of stills, without adding time to an already tight schedule.

/03

The plan

We approached it with a clear, agile strategy.

Adapt to the editorial flow. Working alongside the photographer, we slotted into the schedule and captured video moments straight after each look - keeping the energy consistent and Ashley comfortable throughout.

Focus on brand and personality. We planned natural, candid moments that showed both Ashley's character and the premium feel of the Zegna styling, so the final edit matched the tone of the magazine feature and the Netflix release.

Keep it light and efficient. Minimal kit and a small footprint let us move quickly between setups, making the most of the light and the set design already built for the photo series.

/04

The result

A polished video feature that ran alongside the Zoo Magazine spread - matching the tone of both the editorial and the Top Boy launch, and putting Ashley's character and the Zegna styling front and centre.

Delivered entirely inside the photoshoot's schedule, with no extra shoot time and no compromise on the finish. Exactly the kind of high-end work that sits comfortably next to a name like Ashley Walters and a publication like Zoo.
