We were tasked with conceptualising and creating the video content for Billie Eilish's 2019 Coachella performance and the When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? sold-out world tour.
Each song's visual content was tailored to its meaning, emotion and atmosphere. The show designer briefed us that the show should feel like a journey through a dream world, with nightmarish imagery taking a prominent role.
We embraced this and set about creating visual treatments for the songs alongside Billie's existing visual language: the creature under the bed for Bury a Friend, the spiders for You Should See Me in a Crown, the burning dolls for Watch...
"These are brilliant miniature American horror stories, the likes of which only Eilish is even attempting.", The Guardian
"Billie's energetic performance was highlighted by some of the most elaborate audio-visual presentations and staging of the 2019 Coachella to date.", Daily Mail
For Ocean Eyes and Watch & Burn we created live camera effects using Notch. It's a great tool to help breathe style into live camera looks during moments where the focus is entirely on Billie or any special guests such as Vince Staples during the Coachella performance.
For the intro to Billie's show, she wanted the visuals to introduce the various elements of the upcoming show in a handmade aesthetic. We created a series of scenes where the character of Billie has nightmarish visions invade her dream, then Finneas scored the track adding particularly creepy tones to the already dark animation.
