A perfect blend of director Julian Lucas’s true pleasures, Total Giovanni’s latest visual music experience ‘Awake’ has got it all – good intention, comedic timing, and of course, joyful, choreographed dancing.
Forever open to challenging the status quo, Julian worked with lead singer Vachel Spirason on a concept that would insert emotion and expression into traditional views of masculinity
A topic that might usually lend itself toward the highbrow and serious, Wildebeest instead worked with the band on a production that was uplifting, drew the audience in and was layered with a undertones of freedom and happiness – themes more often associated with the band’s synth-rich sounds.
Working with clients who can surrender to the creative process in the way Total Giovanni do often leads to an aligning of the stars, where strong direction can take hold of the right people and a well thought-out concept.
