Wu Tang Clan

For the relaunch of Wu Tang Clan’s unique apparel range, I created a trailer and four teasers in both 16x9 and 9x16 formats. With a very tight deadline, I focused on key elements to ensure completion on time.

First, I tackled the cards, which needed a shiny, metallic look as they rotated 360 degrees. Initially, I designed these on gold cards, but after a client request, I adjusted the design to what appears in the video. To be fair, I liked both approaches.

Next, I constructed the video timings, working with the legendary track "Protect Ya Neck." Once I had the basic edit in place, I began the design work. Drawing inspiration from Wu Tang’s iconic brand, working with their colours and fonts, I crafted a blend of dynamic design and fast-paced animations to bring the project to life.

An ode to a failing relationship...

‘Counting Empties’ builds on themes of heartbreak and isolation laid out in their previous single ‘Indigo’, as the band reflect on “how having a difficult relationship with alcohol can hinder romantic and personal relationships.

A battle with your own mind to do better and a vulnerability of asking someone patience and forgiveness, although you may not feel you deserve it”.

El Perro - Call Me When You're Home & Let Me Think That Again (Full Film)

Fans of the surreal and stylistic will appreciate this intriguing pair of promos for El Perro. Taken together, 'Call Me When You're Home' and 'Let Me Think That Again' form a cryptic tale of love, murder, and obligation - set against a desolate desert backdrop. 

The film opens with a pair of characters fleeing a wedding, the woman passing the ring to her accomplice and celebrating her freedom in the back of the car. It appears they're dumping a body once they arrive in the wilderness, but a fiery fate for the mysterious bag instead reveals it's full of other wedding rings. 

There are hints of magical realism and surreal imagery throughout the piece, with the second promo seeing the man read his fortune from a cookie before summoning a sword from thin air and asking his partner to kill him. She bleeds molten metal as she refuses to go through with the act, keeping them both suspended in their arcane limbo. 

Esoteric and thought-provoking, it's as aesthetically pleasing to watch as it is narratively challenging. Patient viewers will enjoy sitting back to let the desert wash over them, picking up hints about the duo's supernatural activities along the way.
