š¼š¬ āEast End Friendsā š¬š¼
Took @elenaurdiales and @juliamrrtin on a trip through Londonās East End - shot entirely on true VHS to capture the grit, warmth, and nostalgia of the era. I wanted to make a film that mixes high-end fashion with streetwear, seamlessly cutting between each unique look to build the film as one cohesive piece.

Behind The Scenes - Chase & Status Live - 2025 - @chaseandstatus

Working closely across both teams, we developed a visual language that rejected sheen. Every decision - from lens choice to treatment design - was about grounding the show in something visceral and physical.

Behind The Scenes - Chase & Status Live - 2025 - @chaseandstatus
.
All footage was captured practically - no VFX, no 3D. Shot on ARRI35 with anamorphic lenses and high-speed Ember cameras at 600fps, we filmed in a space designed to be destroyed: cars smashed and torched, walls tagged, and a stunt performer set on fire.

Behind The Scenes - Chase & Status Live - 2025 - @chaseandstatus
.
The film shoot for Chase and Status Live was a collaboration between FRAY Studio and Two and Eight. Across two days we took over an abandoned warehouse with cane corsos, pyro teams and a wrecking crew. The brief: build a visual world that felt rough, fast and lived-in.

The show doesnāt follow a narrative in the traditional sense. Instead, it builds a world through fragments - recurring locations, figures, and textures. Moments return across the set, distorted or reframed, not to tell a story, but to reinforce the atmosphere and attitude of the show.

The show is built entirely from filmed content - no animation, no CG. Every look is captured in-camera. For the live camera treatments, we used Notch to build a full suite of effects: background removal, face tracking and layered distortion, designed to blend live feeds seamlessly with the filmed material.
