Nexus Design Studio Reveal Your Brain on Food for Postmates

CD Harry Butt and the Nexus Design Studio leave no motion styles unexplored as they wrangle a fun collective of artists and animators into this unpredictable campaign thru Mother LA for Uber’s US food delivery service Postmates.

Harry Butt: “This was a major opportunity for Nexus Design Studio to show what it does best – a style agnostic execution under a single creative direction. We are bringing in the talent of our studio in-house and turning to our pool of trusted partners and directors to produce specific niche styles where necessary.

“My goal was to immerse the audience in the personal moment of savoring the first bite of their favorite dish and the full range of experiences that come with it by going really specific in the story lines. Whether it’s to chase the high of spicy food, to kick-start a sugar rush, or to jolt your body into action from a healthy juice shot.

After writing each mini-narrative, we set the tone and partnered each film with incredibly talented artists who brought each story to life in their own distinct style.”
