Blacklist Represents for FUSE


Blacklist just dropped this solid and slightly odd batch of promos for FUSE‘s “Music Is” campaign from Brooklyn Brothers. Each piece was undertaken by a different member of Blacklist‘s powerhouse directing roster.

These engaging, whimsical tales remind us of the power music has and the wonderful places it can take you. They are a testament to the impact you can make when you’ve got relatively simple visuals combined with a great script/idea and the perfect music.

I love both Joy and Therapy… I like the quality, the style and the concept… Great job guys!

Simon Robson

I love cisma’s therapy and would love to know how it was made…Any chance of a behind the scenes for this piece?

shrt

I like therapy the most and just like Simon Robson would love to see a behind the scenes. :)

rich rama

I’ll try to get Cisma up on here to share a little insight on how he put the spot together. He and his wonderful, hard-working crew in Brazil did an amazing job and we’ll try to get them share their experience with all of you.

Simon Robson

That would be great. I’d just love to know where the line is between Live-action and CG. It’s truly amazing, and an approach that i love because it’s so different to anything I’d ever do…

jon saunders

Rama, I’de love to get some insight on how you are dealing with that debacle of a game 6 your Lakers put up against my C’s.

Victor

Soulmates and Therapy.

Breton

P.S. Behind the scenes!!! Plox
