The head-butt is reference to Zinedine Zidane’s head-butt in the 2006 World Cup final. Absolute class. Appreciate the effort you put into these videos. 🐐

Wow love that jewellery biz branding ! That’s the ‘slow cooking’ of branding - it’s not fast food consumption it’s harder and takes time = something worth sharing 🎉

Great overview - I think the key with a lot of these is the humble product shot is granted a narrative dimension through suggestion / playfulness / floating signifiers. There is also lots of homage and media archeology going which is a great time in this era.
