AK SPORTS - HOUDINI

The year is 2020. The deadly virus COVID-19 continues to ravage communities all over the globe. Strict safety restrictions, the shutting down of businesses & social distancing measures have forced the music industry to retreat and begin to function remotely behind closed doors. With pretty much every DJ and their nan live streaming their set from a chaotically botanical studio flat, an event appears online offering music lovers an immersive experience inside a virtual club within the realms of cyberspace - an opportunity to release their pent up frustrations and once again relive the clubbing exploits they got to enjoy pre-lockdown. Made entirely during the first lockdown, the film is inspired by old playstation games and the London nightlife scene a lot of us are missing right now. So we decided to bring the party to your computer screen and fuse the two together inside a matrix-esque simulation. DIRECTOR. CONALL O'BRIEN EDIT & MOTION GRAPHICS. ED CHAPPELL
