nothing but thieves
album & world tour creative direction
In collaboration with NOIR96 I creative directed the visuals for Nothing but Thieves' critically acclaimed number 1 album & world tour “Dead Club City”.
The project began with a music video for their lead single “Welcome to the DCC”. An important video as it was the first introduction to fans of the world of this highly conceptual album.
What followed was a series of 3D lyric videos I created which served as visual looping vignettes of the Dead Club City. I felt it was important that the lyrics were integrated into the world they had inspired so I worked out fun ways they could seamlessly fit onto billboards & various signs around the city.
Finally and the most fun part was concepting & creating the visuals for their world arena tour. The visuals were to be displayed acorss 5 gigantic pillars designed by Vision Factory. We wanted to make the most of these pillars so I brought together a team of talented 3D, Unreal Engine, 2D & AI artists to make 14 bespoke timecoded visuals celebrating all eras of the band while still very much living in the Dead Club City world.
