SURVIVE
Music Video
A retro dream. A band with vision. A day we’ll never forget.
This emotionally-charged, narrative-driven music video anchored a 3-part visual campaign for Nightrider. Designed to shift from VFX-heavy work to a more human, live-action approach, we shot Survive alongside two stylized visualizers, promotional photos, and talking head content, all in a single day.
With Nightrider’s hands-on support, we pulled off one of our most ambitious productions to date, combining '80s-inspired flair, dramatic storytelling, and collaborative grit under one studio roof.

Shot at Sycamore Studio
This shoot proved strategy and heart can coexist.
This wasn’t just a cool concept
it was a high-stakes puzzle.
Nightrider had bold ideas and one shoot day.
We built a plan that turned
it into months of content.
Nothing was left to chance.
Survive became the emotional anchor
but the real win was a smarter, l
onger-lasting content system
the band could grow with.
