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.
