ROD STEWART - UK ARENA TOUR PROMO

WESTLIFE - ‘WILD DREAMS’ TOUR PROMO
Promotional film for Westlife and Live Nation, shot at Wembley Stadium in 2022. We were tasked with capturing the atmosphere of this iconic live show in order to promote the band’s upcoming UK tour. While shots of the band weren’t permitted on the night, we focused on the raw energy of the fans to bring this short film to life.

THE JB CONSPIRACY - ‘THE LONG ROAD TO ZURICH’
Lyric video for The JB Conspiracy, made from the band’s collection of tour photos and flyers during lockdown in 2020. We wanted this to have a feeling of authenticity, and to avoid the generic template-feel of a lot of modern lyric videos. As a result, each line of the song was handwritten, torn out, scanned and animated to create a truly unique style that compliments the band’s existing source material.
MOZILLA - VENMO ‘2 CENTS’ CAMPAIGN
As part of their campaign to promote “openness, innovation and participation on the Internet”, The Mozilla Foundation commissioned us to produce an animated explainer video to raise awareness around Venmo’s privacy policies in the US. The video addresses Venmo CEO Dan Schulman, calling for a change in policy using the app itself.
