2 Takes & a Drone: How He Shot a Viral Watch Commercial 10 Years in the Making | Beyond The Cut

From Idea to Iconic: The 10-Year Wait That Perfected This High-Concept Commercial I sit down with acclaimed director Antoine Pai to break down his viral, high-stakes watch commercial for Baltic! This episode is a deep dive into how a single, disruptive idea stayed alive for a decade until the tech and trust were finally aligned to make it happen. Antoine shares incredible, behind-the-scenes insights on the brutal realities of filming, including coordinating three cameras (including a specialized FPV drone and underwater unit) for a professional diver who would only do two takes. We discuss the magic of achieving impossible shots in-camera, like the iconic moment the drone flies through the diver's water splash by pure chance, and how they pulled off that flawless close-up using an Olympic trampoline and natural light! If you're passionate about high-concept filmmaking, sound design, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with practical effects, this interview is packed with actionable inspiration. Antoine also opens up about his philosophy on creativity, collaboration, and building a balanced life outside of the director's chair. Learn why he believes in giving his team total creative freedom and how he maintains long-term working relationships with major brands like Baltic. We also tackle the crucial skills for any film director—especially managing frustration and solving complex problems on set. Whether you're a beginner filmmaker, an experienced director looking for a creative boost, or just someone who loves production deep dives, Antoine’s story of tenacity and diverse passions—from owning a restaurant to motor racing—proves that stepping away from the camera is often the best way to return to it with a fresh vision.
