MIKE POSNER – NOTHING IS WRONG

for Mike Posner

“Think of this clip as a portrait of a classic Midwest town, meets spiritual enlightenment, meets new age psychedelia.”

Film Director

If Jesus was a
rap / folk artist

Oh hey there, international super star Mike Posner. Mighty Nice to meet you. Our friend and frequent collaborator, Toby Pike, brought us on board for this adventure – a metaphor for the personal journey Mike was on.

In 2019 rapper Mike Posner set out to walk 2800 miles across America. ‘Nothing is Wrong’ is the film clip that documents his story. Director Toby Pike was part of Mike’s support team, travelling ahead of him to set up the shots we would later animate over. We felt we were along for the ride too, as we kept in frequent contact with Toby to plan the art for the film clip.

A key feature was the CG animated rattle snake. This beast was brought onto the screen after Mike’s real-life run-in which saw him airlifted to hospital, pausing his walk for several weeks.

The feeling of
‘something more’

‘Nothing is Wrong’ is a musical ode to transformation and growth. We brought this central thought to life by layering animation over film in a psychedelic world unique to Posner.

‘Into the Wild’ met ‘walking on water’ for the rising of this funky techno Jesus. Splashes of colour were dropped into the music to punctuate Mike’s spiritual journey and create the feeling that there’s ‘something more’ to life on earth than meets the eye.

and the most decent human beings you’ll probably ever meet…
