In the spring, we were commissioned by Impero to capture the natural beauty surrounding The Glenlivet distillery, focusing on the River Livet and its stunning landscape for their Eternal Collection campaign. We drove up in the camper and spent three days immersed in the wilds of Glenlivet where this 55-year-old whisky originates. Some of our favourite shots were taken before dawn, waking at 4am to film the sun rising before brewing a coffee.
Once we wrapped shooting, the footage was sent on to Post Neon in Amsterdam, where their team used our shots against striking 3D animation. The film is a display of rugged nature against the forming of Michael Hansmeyer’s rose-gold sculpture that encases the bottle.
To complement Post Neon’s animated film, we have crafted a secondary film, highlighting our favorite moments from the shoot. This edit serves as a tribute to the beauty of Glenlivet itself, focusing on the textures, light, and movement of the landscape.

“For the launch of The Glenlivet’s most prestigious whisky to date, we were tasked with creating a film to match. A huge part of it was to capture the magic of the highlands. The Pretend Lovers team met the challenge with a golden eagle’s eye for detail, capturing some of the finest shots Speyside has to offer. The team’s commitment, along with their camper van, allowed them to deliver way beyond our expectations giving us more beauty shots than we could possibly use.
Thank you from all of us at Impero - we couldn’t recommend you enough.”
