Manhattan post/VFX house Blacksmith and Exile editor Robert Lopuski provide the snap, crackle, and pop in this electric film helmed by Marco Prestini at Anonymous Content for the Adidas fall and winter collection thru agency Johannes Leonardo.

Associate creative director Jeph Burton at Johannes Leonardo in NY: “Just as all creativity is a work-in-progress, so are all creators.

For Adidas Originals’ FW18 campaign, we launched a film that was itself a work-in-progress. Every scene, unfinished. Every creator, in a constant state of beta.

“Co-opting the digital loading symbols of our hyperconnected consumer to inspire them to keep pushing on — but to recognize no matter where the work ends, original is never finished.”
