The Myth

CREATIVE DIRECTOR VFX

Wieden+Kennedy + Biscuit Filmworks + Joint

I suppose a myth is sort of like a lie that can either conceal or reveal a truth. That’s not unlike visual effects which can be useful for hiding things, or sometimes even adding another layer which can give images a deeper meaning. Perhaps that similarity is why I wanted to do all the VFX work on “The Myth” myself. Or maybe it’s really just because everything about this project is just so fucking good.

Regardless of why, I’m glad I did it. I would totally do it again and I would not feel the least bit guilty at all.
