MTV Website Relaunch

DIRECTING / EDITING / GRAPHICS / MUSIC COMPOSITION / SOUND DESIGN : JOSH GRAHAM

 

MTV hit me up to create an engaging, exciting, spot to relaunch their website, and it had to be relevant in 2020. I composed a bespoke music track to drive the promo, and used emotive footage that would really speak to the audience. The website relaunched as more than just a music and reality TV destination but with new lifestyle pillars of Shows / Music / Culture / Life. Their new editorial content would cover music, sex and relationships, activism, politics, and everything in the spectrum of youth culture in Australia. And this is the spot that that kicked it off.

Bose: Feel It

MUSIC COMPOSITION & SOUND DESIGN: JOSH GRAHAM

In 2020 Summer Studios composed the music for a global digital campaign for Bose. Working with Rasic & Partners and Gray we worked to a detailed brief to create 6 different iterations of a song we composed for the campaign. They all had to represent the personality of the people in each of the spots, and link together with a common musical motif to seamlessly link the Bose range together. The result was a unique, diverse campaign reflecting the emotion of each individual person in each of the spots.

Enerate - The Interactive Visual Album

Case Study:

Directed by: Josh Graham, Summer
App Development by: Seb Lecocq, Summer

It’s really quite rare that you get to make a world first. But with the interactive visual album we made for Australian band Enerate, it was just that. For their new album, we produced an interactive music video for each of the 8 songs, the Interactive Visual Album came as a mobile app. This is the future of music videos. It contains music videos with multi-tangent narratives, video games, and viewpoint controls. The first of it’s kind, the Interactive Visual Album was selected to be a part of Bigsound Tech in 2018, for entrepreneurial excellence in new music technologies, and also showcased at VIVID Sydney’s Clipped Music Video Festival.
