Touted as one of the most expensive EDM music videos ever made, this one was an absolute blast to be a part of. The project brought together two post-production teams — Weapons of Mass Entertainment in Hollywood and Method Studios in Vancouver — each handling different aspects of the workflow. Hollywood covered editorial and 2D motion graphics, while Vancouver tackled the 3D animation and compositing.

I was responsible for cutting the vignette scenes and designing a high-energy motion graphics package that felt like a futuristic spin on a UFC broadcast. Drawing from existing UFC assets and layering in visual cues from sci-fi films like Prometheus, I crafted a fast-paced, immersive interface that helped anchor the video’s narrative.

The final result? A knockout. Over 18 million views and counting — and still one of the most fun projects I’ve had the chance to work on.
