Art Direction • Various Special Shoot Concepts • Design • VFX • Animation • Editing
Our team was lucky to be involved early on with Luke Cage: pitching key art ideas as well as custom shoot concepts. I enjoyed exploring the character’s history and his reimagining for a modern audience, with special series developed around the iconic soundtrack, Harlem setting, and Luke’s place in The Defenders universe.
