CHASE THE LIGHT
‘Chase The Light’ is a short CGI film created for streetwear brand Timberland in collaboration with digital fashion house The Fabricant - I was invited as director to use the NL Sky Collection (inspired by the northern lights) as a foundation for the film.
the film explores a journey of tension; the symbotic relationship between humans and the natural world. the audience is invited to uncover or rediscover human relationship with natural phenomena (like the northern lights) through a fantastical excursion - the digital garments transport the avatars into a new world, filled with light.
“We are intrigued by a natural occurrence, which we cannot live without; light. But more specifically a spectacular version of an everyday experience: the Northern Lights. We are chasing the light.”— taken from directors treatment
the collection was digitized into 3D assets by the internal Fabricant team.
