For Talkspace’s “Monster,” The Machine Shop helped bring to life an internal dialogue that sits at the edge of fear and self-awareness. Through edit, color, and sound, we built a visual language that mirrors the VO’s reflection. Vast and quiet, but heavy with movement beneath the surface. The film explores the idea that fear isn’t something to erase, but something to recognize and live alongside. A reminder that even at our highest points, the mind has its own terrain to navigate.
