In the anthem film, Dohrn plays with a sense of scale and brings the audience on a kaleidoscopic visual journey. In-camera distortion and multi-layered VFX – executed by The Mill – bring the creative paths of Little Simz, Domond, and Nunes to life.
The film keeps the creators as the focal point, visualising them as unique and individual auras while scintillating in-camera efforts warp the surrounding environmental elements in their wake, showcasing how each brings their distinctive style to every part of their lives.
“I was immediately inspired when I saw the script,” says Dohrn. “I wanted the film to feel reminiscent of classic old skate videos and utilize VFX elements to make it fresh and contemporary. Ultimately, it’s a subtle nod to the homemade, DIY, punk aesthetic that Vans was born out of.”
