Description
Developed a visual language for a Nike × MMW running campaign built entirely from motion-capture and pose-estimation data.
The Challenge
Nike and Matthew M. Williams wanted imagery that described running from the inside. Not the athlete as a picture, but the athlete as information: joints, angles, distances and the path a body draws through space in a single stride.
Signal as material
The look sits between a lab recording and an old broadcast signal. Scanlines, moiré, signal loss and chromatic shifts were treated as material, the same way a photographer treats grain or flare.
