Thalia Strates

Work for the talented Thalia Strates - 2020 campaign

This turned out to be one of our greatest creative challenges and all the more for-filling for it. We not only produced the film for Thalia but also created the window installation at AKJP on Kloof.
The display consisted of two mounted TVs that played the corresponding visuals from the film with narration by actress and sister; Athena Strates. This influenced the overall vision for the film and its visual representation in the edit.
The dialogue is a poem Thalia had written. And plays alongside the nature foley which would carry out into the urban Cape Town streets attracting curious passers-by to the storefront.
It was an honor to see another fellow creative that immersed in her brand and vision, the vision in all, being largely her own. Go check out her beautiful artisan adornments as well as the full feature displayed in AKJP.
