Strata Weight Vest - REP Fitness
July 2025
Film/Editing/Coloring

Overview
REP Fitness was releasing a new Weight Vest into the market.
We started with a long list of standout features but realized quickly that trying to show everything in one video made the content feel crowded and hard to follow.
To keep it clear, we chose to highlight only a few key benefits that could be shown visually—like how the vest stays in place during high-movement exercises and how easy it is to adjust.
Instead of overloading the viewer with technical info, we used natural workout footage to let the product speak for itself, showing how it fits into real routines.
We shot a mix of close-ups and full-body movement to balance detail with energy, making sure the content felt dynamic but still informative.
We kept text overlays minimal and focused—just enough to call out specific features without distracting from the visuals.
Shorts/Ads
We created two distinct reels (and ad variations) to serve different points in the buyer journey. One focused on educational storytelling. showcasing features like the slide-lock system, plate storage, and phone pocket for an audience actively comparing training gear. The other leaned into high-energy, aspirational fitness moments, aiming to grab attention fast and inspire viewers to see themselves pushing boundaries in the Strata™ Vest. This dual-approach let us test performance across placements and platforms, maximizing impact and giving potential customers a fuller picture—from the tech to the lifestyle.
