HIGHLARK
Three we made for ourselves
Three pieces with no client and no brief, made to find out what the tools do before we point them at someone else's product. One in Paris, one in Rome, one on a carpet at home.

Video: Highlark. 13 seconds, vertical, silent.
He lands, he doubles, he melts into the pavement.
Shot on one locked frame in the courtyard of the Louvre, with the Louis XIV statue behind. He drops in out of the sky, walks forward, splits into three, and then the whole figure runs down into the stone and dries into the mark on the wall. Thirteen seconds, no crew, no permit, one afternoon.
Video: Highlark. 36 seconds, vertical, silent.
We asked a street performer to wear the hat.
Shot on the Via dei Fori Imperiali, with Trajan's Forum on one side and the Colosseum at the end of the road. He was already working the crowd; we asked, he put it on, and he kept the routine going for half an hour. Nothing was staged and nothing was paid for. The cap is the white pigeon crown with the Orioles patch.
Video: Highlark. 17 seconds, vertical, silent.
A pair of shoes, cut like a product film.
The cheapest kind of piece to make and the one most people get wrong. One room, one pair, a hat thrown at the camera to open it, then the shoe held up close enough to read the stitching and the aged sole. Seventeen seconds, all of it on a phone.
- Three finished films.
- Shot, cut and graded in house.
- Each one vertical.
- Each one posted.
The Paris piece is the one worth explaining. It is one locked frame in the Louvre courtyard with a real person walking through it. Everything else is put in afterward: the landing, the two clones that split off and walk out of step, and the melt that takes the whole figure down into the stone and leaves the mark on the wall. No crew, no permit, one afternoon. We would rather show you that here than describe it on a rate card. Your version is the same job: one frame of your product, and the rest built around it.
Two days. A scope and a number.
