The April issue of KP’s monthly newsletter COPY focused on music and featured a Collab from the Kennedy’s X. Sharing here the beautiful video they created inspired by Yosh*tomo Nara.

Directed by Candy Kennedy, with Mark Sherman behind the camera, and Eugene Jho styling this piece builds on a simple premise and pushes into something more layered, more intentional.

“For this piece, we wanted to create a cocktail film that felt visually beautiful on the surface, but carried a deeper emotional tension underneath. We drew inspiration from Yosh*tomo Nara’s world — particularly the contrast between innocence and unrest — and used that as the foundation for the visual language of the film. The palette was built around colors we felt echoed that tension, while the reference to snow came from his childhood and became a symbolic element throughout the piece. We also used war-inspired sound cues as transitions, bringing in a subtle sense of disruption and memory beneath the elegance of the drink film. One of our favorite moments is the snowflake resting on the cocktail, which then pulls back to reveal the red circle against white — a quiet visual nod to the Japanese flag. The goal was to make something that felt poetic, slightly unsettling, and refined: a cocktail portrait shaped by beauty, history, and contradiction.” -Candy Kennedy

Wicked fun with and

A deep throwback to a project with we did with in Spokane. The parade structure in SpokaVegas is incredible, and David’s iconic shot has stood the test of time. He’s a pleasure to be around, and one of the most creative chaps we know.
An eye for great design and a practical joker like no other.

“Watch this…” 😉
