The Pen to Right History

Brand: LPP · Agency: McCann New York · Year: 2025 · Category: Case Studies · Medium: video

The visual style leans into a desaturated, somewhat cool colour palette, evoking a sense of gravitas and historical depth. Lighting is naturalistic yet dramatic, using chiaroscuro to highlight figures and symbolic objects like the pen. Compositions are often wide, providing context for the subjects, and also tight on faces and hands to capture intimate moments of reflection and action. The overall mood is serious and contemplative, yet ultimately hopeful and empowering, focusing on diverse individuals engaged in profound acts of writing and advocacy.
