ADIDAS X PETER SAVILLE
We created an animated feature for Sevenstore to present the release of the Peter Saville X Adidas Spezial trainer.
The story of the animation traced the scientific origins of the iconic unknown pleasures graphic featured on the shoe. Formed from pulsar readings in the deepest parts of space it revealed a new side to the iconic artwork many aren’t aware of. All assets were applied throughout the store and used on social channels
RÄTHEL & WOLF
Existential Pleasures explores the RÄTHEL & WOLF Digital library of jewellery pieces to create a series of CG images. For the art direction we produced the images around the idea of exploring motion and movement within vast urban environments. Focusing the camera on the individual pieces to highlight them whilst blurring and and warping the surrounding imagery.
NIKE KUKINI-VERSE
The KUKINI-VERSE in collaboration with Sevenstore was a virtual online world in which users could explore the origins of the re-released Nike Kukini Air Max trainer.

From dawn till dusk, our protagonist tackles the many contours of the harsh environment whilst exploring its vast reaches, exhibiting the immense trail running capabilities of the ACG apparel.
LIMIT SEASON VISUALS
Experimental visuals created for a re-brand of the popular club-night ‘LIMIT’. We experimented deeply within form, texture and a variety of digital animation techniques such as liquid dynamics and vornoi fracturing of objects. These various experiments culminated in a collective of visual scenes which could be utilised across social channels and digitally projected during the events.
ARTIFICIAL ENVIRONMENTS
‘Artificial Environments’ was a club night concept which looked explore a future vision of the world where natural environments are emulated and enhanced by technology.
The visuals looked to balance realism with surrealism in order to push the boundaries of what a human would perceive to be part of nature in the modern world.
VISIONS OF LIGHT
'Visions of Light’ was an immersive livestream from Existential Pleasures which used a mix of audio and visual to transport viewers through a spectrum of unusual clubbing scenarios and an amalgamation of dystopian environments, combining digital experimentation of natural scenery alongside modern brutalist architecture to form striking worlds.
LUKE BRIENT JEWELLERY
Branding, 3D animations and social strategy created and implemented for Luke Brient, a jeweller based within Norfolk, UK. We created a variety of visuals ranging from more simple visuals focusing purely on the forms and intricacies of the pieces to detailed nature environments reflecting Luke’s hometown surroundings.
All visuals were applied across social channels on Luke’s brand launch with high engagement received throughout.
