Nas x Timberland
"Legends Club"
FIRE
Nas is a master storyteller. He effortlessly marries super specific imagery with broad archetype and narrative structure.
My strategy was to listen to the recordings of him weaving these stoies while watching old clips of him in his teens,when he was just getting started and tried to push the archetypes of Test, Allies, Enemies, Mentors, which are so rich a part of his beginnings, and all make their first appearances around the time a typical character on the hero's journey, takes their leap into the special world.
Sue Yee Hubbard, Christina Barna, and Chace Hartman. made me feel at home at GS and had put alot of time into developing frankly one of the most beautiful pitch decks I have ever seen.
Also special thanks too Harry and Sue for working it out that I could spend a couple weeks helping out on the animation.
