👋🏻 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
The third project I've done with Little Simz - bit of an obsession at this point 😂
Jokes aside, this was a campaign for JD in which Simz comes back to Islington, her home
And she's still the same Simbi in the same Vans
My dear friend Alex J Robson on the cam, doing magic
Especially since he only had about 5 minutes to get these shots inbetween video takes
🤯🤯🤯
It would not have been possible to deliver this message of 'sticking to your roots' without the beautiful dialogue delivery of the actors of our extras, as well as Simz herself, who comes with serious acting chops
Lastly, a moment of appreciation for the love and care the art department gave to the set
P.S. massive props to Shea Coleman, our producer, for his patience and hard work while dealing with three clients 👊
