Shoreditch prodco Golden Wolf build a poignant collage of the excitement and ennui of youth in this dense and collaborative black and white opus for the “Papercut (Grey remix)” track from Grammy-winning producer/musician Zedd.

Golden Wolf: “When the guys at Interscope and Blood Company approached us about doing a music video for Zedd’s Paper Cut, we knew it would be the perfect opportunity to try out an idea we had been toying with for a while: gathering a dream team of some of our favorite artists from around the world to create one cohesive film using a variety of styles.

“After coming up with the storyline we put together a script, storyboard, and animatic and then divided the shots between ourselves and 10 of our favorite collaborators, with the only guideline being to work in black and white with a hand-drawn feel.”
