A retreat, kept: one film and seven testimonials

Lionhearted Enterprises runs Recalibrate, a retreat for women founders hosted by Amanda Pascale. Her team filmed it on several cameras and sent us the raw footage. We cut a highlight film for the next retreat, and a testimonial from each attendee who sat down to talk.

What Amanda needed

A retreat ends. Amanda needed two things to outlast it: a film that shows the next group of founders what the days feel like, and the attendees saying, in their own words, what they took home.

The raw footage came from several cameras. We synced them, chose the moments, and cut the highlight film to run the retreat from the first session to the last walk. Each testimonial stands on its own, with the attendee named on screen and a closing card that points to the next retreat.

What the work involved

  • Synced and cut from raw multi-camera footage

    Several cameras, lined up and picked over: sessions, yoga, dinners and the walks, ordered so the film moves like the days did.

  • Lower-thirds and end cards

    Each attendee is named on screen, and every film ends by pointing to the next retreat.

  • Finished files, ready to post

    Full length, with sound mixed, so each piece goes straight onto a page or a feed.
