tl;dr:

shot during the “takes a village: welcoming asian creatives” event we produced, we captured a live rendition of the second single “oyster”; released on the 1-year anniversary of its release, over 2 million streams later.

we wanted to extrapolate oyster’s theme of a growing distance and juxtapose that with proximity. using a 360 camera, we shot a performance video where the performers and audience feel like they’re enveloping the viewer - where you’re surrounded by your tribe as far as your eyes can see - culminating in spherical shots that remind you, “the world’s your oyster”.
