Your year in review, brought to life.

A Spotify pop-up on London's Queen's Walk. Four rooms, one for each season, each built from the songs you played most.

Drag to walk the four rooms.

ONE YEAR, ONE ROOM

The overview. A guest steps off the Queen's Walk, the corridor blooms into the colours of her listening year, and she leaves holding a glowing clip of it as the line builds behind her.

The pavilion on the Queen's Walk · dusk over the Thames with Big Ben behind
The entry corridor · duotone light blooming from spring into summer

GREEN MEANS GO

The buzz outside. The line gathers along the river rail, a guest taps her phone to the reader and her name blooms on the glass, the light turns from red to green, and she steps through as the next guest moves up.

THE FOUR ROOMS

The heart of it. One guest walks four rooms, one for each season, the full-height walls answering her top songs of that quarter while a different sound fills each room, until by winter she has her whole year back.

The Four Rooms · the key frame of this film
The spring room · cyan and green light, petals drifting on the walls
The summer room · magenta and orange heat across the walls
The autumn room · amber and violet, embers falling down the walls
The winter room · ice-blue and white, the walls answering her hand

TAKE YOUR YEAR WITH YOU

The exit gift. A link lands on her phone at the door, a vertical clip of her own room visuals playing with a thank-you month, and she turns to two friends and sends it before she is even back on the promenade.

LONDON, SCORED BY YOU

The setting. Golden hour on the Queen's Walk turns to neon night, the pavilion throws its colour across the wet promenade and onto the river, and for one night the most famous mile in London reads as yours.

The posters

Eight pieces of key art for the pop-up, one line and one image each, in the campaign's own type.

An endless colonnade of lit doorways, one per year · NO TWO YEARS SOUND ALIKE.
A hand lifts a phone to the reader as the light turns green · PRESS PLAY ON YOUR YEAR.
A guest lit cyan in the spring room, looking up · SPRING SOUNDED LIKE THIS.
A face in the dark, lost in a single private song · THE SONG YOU PLAYED AT 2AM.
The pavilion glowing on the Queen's Walk at blue hour · LONDON, SCORED BY YOU.
A hand holding the year as a clip above the Thames night · TAKE THE YEAR WITH YOU.
The Spotify mark on a field of every Wrapped colour · WRAPPED, BROUGHT TO LIFE.

Finished work from the record, closest to this one first, each film playing in place.

Baby Monster

The brief A big-budget family-adventure script, Baby Monster, that had been collecting dust: the magic of Amblin, the wonder of E.T., the scale of Jurassic Park.

What we made A previsualization trailer that gave decision makers something a script cannot.

The result A bidding war between Netflix and Universal, ending with Universal landing the project with Jeff Robinov's Studio 8 producing.

Open the case study

Super Bowl hype trailer

The brief A first-of-its-kind Super Bowl hype trailer, co-directed by Ritual Ads director Steve Davis and Sam Joos.

What we made AI visuals blended with live-action elements in a cinematic hybrid, set to 2WEI's 'History in the Making'.

The result Produced in under two weeks.

Open the case study

Reebok

The brief Reebok's signature-shoe launch for Angel Reese, the most followed WNBA player across all social media.

What we made A production-ready previsualization delivered within 90 minutes, then the cinematic commercial built on that roadmap for the global launch.

The result The Angel Reese 1 sold out globally within hours of going live, all three colorways, one of Reebok's fastest product launches in recent history.
