PROMOTIONAL VIDEO CASE STUDY

An artist profile video for the controversial London-based artist, who lives up to his creative pseudonym with outspoken works of fine art

VIDEO OBJECTIVE

The video had two primary objectives. Firstly to build brand awareness and raise the profile of the artist, by showcasing his process and story. The second objective was to advertise and build hype around an upcoming exhibition.

A large smear of bright yellow-orange paint spread unevenly across a white background. The texture is thick and creamy, with visible brush strokes and varying thickness throughout the smear, resembling Mr Controversial's signature style.

USING TRADITIONAL Techniques

Shooting footage on film stock mirrored the artists rebellion against the ‘digital first’ culture and supported the vintage ‘pulp-fiction’ art style, which has become his signature style.
