GBAD
Shot entirely on Synapse's Los Angeles LED volume stage, GBAD merges high-energy performance with surreal, cinematic worlds. Working with director Rich Lee, our team blended virtual production with physical set builds to create seamless, reality-bending transitions, from a full-speed train rescue to a high-stakes bank heist. Using real-time Unreal Engine environments, dynamic camera tracking, and practical lighting integration, we delivered a visually rich, immersive setting that matched the music's intensity. The result: a bold, stylized piece that has garnered over 32 million views and pushed the boundaries of music video storytelling.
