GORILLAZ ALBUM TEASER

Teaser styleframes made for Gorillaz's upcoming album The Mountain. The new album is a collaborative album with global artists described as "a playlist for a party on the border between this world and whatever happens next, exploring the journey of life and the thrill of existence."

​

We visualized the concept of Between Light and Shadow using optical abstractions. Everything was done by capturing silhouettes through paper cutouts, colored lights, 4 Photoshop blending modes, and glowy type treatment. We wanted to create a distinct visual atmosphere inspired by local motifs and Gorillaz’s virtual world. Blending tradition with technology, practical in-camera techniques make the visuals feel analog, tactile, and cinematic.

Alternate Concept

This alternate concept echos their unique blend of music styles and take a further step and utilize optical abstraction techniques to create light refractions,
blurs, and soft yet colorful palette to create that surreal dream-like, whimisical world between reality and imagination.
