INTRODUCTION As summer arrives, we all have the urge to take a break from our day job, and go outside to do what we love. This may be hiking, swimming, gardening, or simply basking in the summer sun. In this four part video series, we will travel and explore the talents and hobbies of five models from The Society Model Management. The featured women will get to leave behind their jobs, and ditch the runway to do what they love with a small group of their friends. We think it would be much more enjoyable for the models, as well as the viewers.
Anna
S P E C K H A R T
ABOUT ANNA SPECKHART Anna is an internationally successful print model who began gaining momentum in her career after landing Abercrombie & Fitch and Forever 21 as her first major print campaigns. She grew up in a small town but moved to Los Angeles to pursue modeling full time. Since then she has traveled all over the world and worked in big fashion cities such as Paris, New York, and London. She enjoys fishing trips with her father, and has plenty of experience catching
EXECUTION + Sample Script Location: Atlantic Highlands, NJ We watch as Anna puts on her fishing vest and matching hat. She checks her tackle box and rod, and once she’s set, we board the boat. The sun beats down on the water as we glide across the ocean. Drone footage shows the boat propelling forward, expelling waves behind it. We come to a stop, and Anna preps for the catch. She ties a hook to the end of the string and attaches the bait, making some jokes along the way. We cut between her casting the rod a couple times and waiting for a bite. She struggles to reel one in, but without any help at all she gets the monster onto the boat. She plays with the 2 ft fish and holds it up for a picture. By the time the sun starts to set, she has caught several fish, only one or two which she decides to keep. She packs up her things and the boat heads back to
Birgit K O S

She has made a name for herself in the industry by working with Glamour France, Harper’s Bazaar, Penti, Dolce & Gabbana, Elle France, Madame. The model is an avid snowboarder and mountain climber, who likes to get outdoors as much as possible.
EXECUTION + Sample Script Location: Bear Mountain State Park, NY Drone footage covers the mountains of Bear Mountain State Park. It’s unknown that the beautiful range is only an hour outside of New York City. Endless trees, graceful streams, and flourishing wildlife. Birgit sprints towards one of the trails that we will take to begin our journey. We watch as her backpack bounces behind her, and the sun beats down on her hair. She interacts with some small birds, and maybe spots a deer or two. When we get to the rocks, she shows us how to prepare, adjusting her harness and making sure she is safe and secure. She quickly begins to maneuver up the slope, finding her grip in small crevices. We can follow her up with an aerial view, while we watch from afar with our primary camera. She shows us how to scale the wall, and have fun along the way. Once she has reached the top, she throws her arms up and her head back. Then, she sits down and swings her feet over the ledge, looking at her beautiful view.
Julia J a m i n
ABOUT JULIA JAMIN Julia is a high fashion model who travels the globe working for clients including Vogue, Topshop, W Magazine, Burberry, Dior, Louis Vuitton in both editorial and runway content. Originally from the Netherlands, Julia enjoys getting outdoors and sailing. She is knowledgeable and trained at rigging and sailing boats a top the ocean.
EXECUTION + Sample Script Location: Tribeca Sailing, NYC Julia chucks a couple bags of gear on board before waving to the rest of the crew to join her. She checks the wind before she begins showing us how to set up the sails, adjust the pulleys, and knot everything - Bowline, Clove Hitch, Anchor hitch! Once the sails are set, she takes a seat at the stern of the boat. She gets a grip on the rudder and shows us how to steer. She takes a deep breathe in, then motions for her crew to unhook the anchor. The wind picks up and the sails expand. Without any time at all, the boat is sailing across the Hudson. The city seems to disappear under the sun, as the tiny boat flies through the water. She makes sure to add a couple twists and turns to try and throw us off, laughing along the way. She travels up and down the river before finally ending her journey with a quick swim. She jumps from the boat and splashes in the water.
Bridget + Alisa M A L C O L M
A h m a n n
ABOUT Brigit Malcolm Bridget Malcolm is bubbly, blonde, beautiful, and basically the quintessential Victoria’s Secret model, with the permanently bikini-ed body and infectious personality to back it up. Her Instagram is stocked with images of the ocean, workout selfies, and kale salads, and she has an air of confidence that’s innately appealing. The model first was discovered in 2007 when she placed third in an annual Vivien’s model search in Perth. She has since walked for Australian retailer David Jones, Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney while also posing for Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and V magazine. Aside from being a pro oboe player, she enjoys getting her hands dirty gardening and cooking farm fresh meals.

She quickly debuted as the opener at Calvin Klein during the Fall/Winter 2014 collections. She is known behind the scenes for her love of acting, as well as her amazing baking skills.
EXECUTION + Sample Script Location: Blue Hill at Stone Barns, NY Bridget and Alisa arrive to Blue Hill and quickly make their way into the fields and greenhouses. The enjoy the time outside by picking fruits, vegetables, and flowers. They shovel their produce some woven baskets that they carry by their sides. Big hats guard their faces from the sun as they walk along the beautiful isles made from fresh dirt and fully grown greens. After they are satisfied with their picks, they head back indoors. They wash their hands and change into different outfits. They make their way into the beautiful kitchen and begin to wash and clean the vegetables. Bridgit begins preparing a colorful salad with a summer-y dressing. Alisa mixes dry ingredients together before adding fresh berries to her muffin batter. Once the baked goods are in the oven, they head back outside to sit down at a dinner table. As the sun sets, they begin their meal - munching away. They end the night with the warm homemade muffins and a beautiful view.
Styling
STYLING YASMINA BENABDELKRIM yasminabenabdelkrim.com For this series, we want to keep the clothing fashionable, but more importantly practical. The girls will be dressed in well-thought-out summer outfits that not only look great on camera, but also are fit for their activity. We want to keep the focus on the models, while the clothing simply compliments them!
Lighting +Cinematography
Lighting + Cinematography The style of these videos will seamlessly blend 4k footage shot on our Red Dragon, with aerial drone footage and Super 8 film footage. We want to capture the models up close, and capture their laughter, excitement, and enjoyment as they participate in the activities that they love most. Drone footage will capture the surrounding environment from beautiful heights, providing a nice contrast, and adding yet another jaw-dropping element. The style should be influenced by documentary and fashion film genres. It should be elegant and captivating, while still keeping the focus on the model and their hobby, not the hair, makeup, or styling (which should strictly compliment them).
