NOEL GALLAGHER

GLASTONBURY 2022!

We received a call from Noel Gallagher’s manager, Marcus Russell (who managed Oasis!). Noel had come across our music videos and thought we’d be perfect for his background visuals on his up coming tour  - to be on his radar was such a huge buzz for us. 

Noel was down to play the main stage at Glastonbury’s 50th anniversary festival, before Paul McCartney headlined. He wanted some bold kick ass video screens to play during his set - which was in the evening and still light. 


Our canvas was a ridiculously awesome 18 metre x 10 metre screen.  We love working big and this was a real gift that played to our strengths.

We used a heavy mix of rotoscoped footage, crushed and punked up with analogue mark-marking against ultra punchy neon colours.  The edits where a high energy mix of trippy repeating jump cuts, looping madness and occasional big cinema camera put outs.  All made to keep everyone on their toes.  In all we created 30mins of visuals, which was so cool for us to have that length of time to play with each films themes and make these immersive videos, while keeping it ultra fresh and exciting.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS CAMPAIGN
By chris curtis 12 Jan, 2023
Our latest film is part of a really rewarding campaign we have worked on with the agency Arthur London for the last couple of years, with videos, social media and OOH. The core idea is to bring a unique perspective and offbeat visual storytelling to what can be quite a conservative approach in the investment advertising world. We try to do this by making each scene a stand-alone visual moment that connects more obliquely to the script. For practical reasons we used rotoscoped live-action stock, but this meant we could jump between locations and people as much as we wanted, rather than a single location or studio shoot with talent. We also love to ground the M&G world with the natural world using mountains, beaches and clouds to reflect a strong dependable foundation for their ecological approach to investing.
