DARK CHOPS
Music Video
Elizabeth II came to us ready to push boundaries. They’d made videos before, but this time, they wanted more. More vision. More meaning. More intention.
Together, we created Dark Chops: a conceptual, performance-driven piece rooted in the symbolism of limbo. The band traveled from North Carolina to Ohio to partner with our team. We built something strange, cinematic, and unforgettable through bold set design, evolving choreography, and lighting that mirrored the song’s emotional arc.
This became a milestone for both teams, overcoming technical hurdles to deliver a final film that raised the bar for everyone involved.
A legacy-level video that transformed their brand—and our belief in what’s possible.
