The brief

Open Red Bull Sound Select’s 30 Days in Chicago — a month of shows across the city in November 2017 — and spotlight the local artists at its heart.

The work

The campaign opener and a series of artist spotlight films for the month of shows.

The team

Camera and drone operators, editor and colorist, working with Red Bull’s music team and the artists.

The result

A campaign opener plus spotlights on DJ Taye, Brown Girls, Runsy, Zoe Rain and The Stitch Gawd, released across the month.

How It Came Together

Chicago is the star. The opener moves from the river between Marina City’s towers to a red court seen straight down, then out to the lakefront, where a footwork dancer jumps against the skyline.

Each artist spotlight then narrows to one person and their corner of the city, built to roll out over the month of shows.
