'Crypto Klepto' - Asylums

Client: Asylums / Cool Thing Records
Date: April 2022
Role: Director/Editor

'Crypto Klepto' is the first release from Asylums' fourth studio album, 'Signs of Life'. I was tasked with creating the band's (and my) first ever lyric video, while both establishing a new visual tone for the album and harkening back to their first album's fun tone and use of primary colours and satire. The result is truly unhinged...!
LYRIC VIDEO

Full video, created entirely inside Photoshop and Final Cut Pro X. Featuring graphic elements designed by both myself and Iron Brain (@theironbrain_2703 on Instagram)

I also produced a number of shortened advertising versions of this video, plus an album trailer and two short adverts for the second single, 'Scatterbrain', featuring a music video shot by Andy Delaney. These can be seen below:
