I directed this music video for Thutmose, a Nigerian Afrobeat artist who’s toured with Billie Eilish, after his song Memories was featured in the Oscar-winning film, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Thutmose was nominated for a Grammy for the soundtrack along with the other artists on it like Post Malone.
For the music video, we created these 3D freeze frame shots to show Thutmose’s memories of a past relationship. We visualized each memory as a Polaroid. Instead of just showing standard photos in the video, we designed a circular camera track so we could transform 2D polaroids into 3D memories, frozen in time.

MAKING MEMORIES WITH
3D POLAROIDS

RELEASE CAMPAIGN
In addition to directing the music video above, I also helped Thutmose create a new visual identity for his breakout EP release campaign.
Thutmose’s music is about escapism and his name comes from a pharaoh. So to build a new visual world for him, we created a fantasy where ancient Egypt exists in a modern era. In it, we fused ancient iconography with modern design. For example, we used dobermans to represent Anubis, taking an ancient god often depicted as dog and combining it with a modern symbol of hip hop culture.
That world came to life in Thutmose’s Spider-verse music video above, his collab with Afropop’s modern-day pharaoh Rema and in dozens of other visuals, like the below.
