inside the swell.
Mavericks is one of surfing's most feared breaks. The series followed characters from around the world as their stories converged with nature on a defining day in big-wave history.
Chop Shop Media turned that breadth of material into a cohesive documentary narrative. We connected personal stakes, location and the building pressure of the event through a unified producer-led post workflow—from media organization and writing through the final editorial, graphics, voiceover and sound design.
