👋🏻 I’m Rapolas, Sr. Art Director
Currently at Vans
Previously at AKQA
A total of 7 years of experience from both sides of the fence: agency & brand

Nike, Rolls-Royce, Sky, Gucci, Dickies, EA, RTL.
These are some of the clients I’ve worked with
‍
My skills lie in concept and art direction for video and photography, image making and branding. I’m quite hands on, but I also love guiding the transformation of an idea to an image, product or experience in the hands of collaborators

And this the 2nd instalment of the Vans global brand campaign - Always Pushing

Just like the first one, it is centered on Little Simz

With the addition of her skate counterpart Helena Long

The idea was to offer an intimate, authentic look into what it's like to deal with the pressures of being a musician. From writing and recording music to performing it in front of a sea of people

To achieve this, we shot Simz during a real performance in front of a real crowd in Johannesburg, South Africa

We wanted the fans to feel as though they're a part of the story. Fenn O'Meally did an awesomome job with her crowd portraits

We had our film director Adriaan Louw with his bolex, two camera operators with mini DVs and our brand marketing director Patrick with his iPhone (whose footage we ended up using 😂 ), right in the thick of it as Simz jumped in to spit bars

This is one I'll never forget 🫶 🇿🇦
