The company

Recce the square. Hold the brick. Grade once.

Studio work

Recce the square. Hold the brick. Grade once.

Alrernative produces commercial stills and short films from Aarhus. Photography and motion share a recce so a campaign does not split in public between a lookbook that looks like noon and a cut that looks like sunset.

The rooms on Store Torv hold tabletop, a north window, and a colour desk. Clients sit with tethered stills and a calibrated monitor in one visit. Product and grade live on the same floor.

Location days stay on the brick we recce. Bounce and a small key match the overcast; we do not gel a false harbour. If the weather turns, we wait or we rewrite, we do not invent the hour in the suite.

Agencies send a media plan. We name masters for print, 1:1 and 9:16, keep a working project for the revision window, and hand an archive another editor can open without a private scheme.

Crew

Clients

“Quiet rooms. We did not fight a second look.”

Louise K. · Producer

“The suite looks like the hour we stood in it.”

Frederik S. · Hotel brand

“Control frames. I finished Aarhus; I did not invent it.”

Ida N. · Retoucher

North window, tabletop, and a colour-managed finishing desk at Store Torv 6, Aarhus. Tethered stills and a calibrated monitor in one visit so a pack shot and a film pull are decided in the same room.
