BLACKSMITH

Big brands don’t settle. Neither should you.
Blacksmith crafts high-end product videos and renders—without bloated agency layers.

Tired of:
• Videos that don’t convert
• Inconsistent quality
• Endless revisions

Let’s fix that. Let’s make content that sells.

Here’s why it works so d*mn well:

It’s a 15-second product reveal that’s simple, yet undeniably sophisticated—pulling you in from the very first frame.

The video opens with a visual hook: a shoelace lock-mechanism being threaded by its choreographed, dancing laces. You’re not quite sure what you’re seeing, but it’s intriguing enough to keep watching.

Gucci’s signature green drape, paired with a clean stainless steel display pedestal. Classic meets modern.

What follows is a series of refined close-ups and slightly out-of-focus stills that build tension as the laces are tied.

Then.. boom. What we've waited for:
A clean, satisfying full product reveal.

15 seconds is the perfect length—just enough to impress, short enough to watch again. Especially for a brand with a fanbase this massive.

The replay value feeds the algorithm. No surprise it’s already sitting at 2.2M views since it dropped on Thursday (2 days ago).

Watch it on Gucci instagram.


Blacksmith would use Cinema4D to craft something similar, you can too.

We did a bit of digging to find out how shoe laces can be handled inside a CG/3D environment and felt like we got close to the truth.
