John Hillcoat + Run The Jewels + George A. Romero's 'Night of the Living Dead'… Working with just one of these would have already been extraordinary; working with all three has been an absolute privilege.
The latest music video from Run The Jewels, 'Never Look Back', premiered at the 2021 Adult Swim Festival. Directed by John Hillcoat, the promo features the rap duo running for their lives in Night of the Living Dead. Footage from the original 60s movie and new material were merged in post-production, blending them together with the grainy look of the original 35mm monochrome film. Senior Compositor Urs Furrer and Colourist Scott Harris worked together seamlessly to achieve the perfect mix between 2D and grade, treating both the old and the new footage.
