promos
i’ve had the pleasure of creating animated promos for some really cool companies. take a look around to see the different animation styles, techniques, and level of detail offered by kissing party.
the magic mullet
music nfts are making headlines in the web3 world, gaining attention for how they allow artists to create music without the traditional restraints experienced when working with record labels. beyond democratizing the creative expression of all musical artists, nfts have also touched the industry in a possibly unexpected way. there’s a vast emergence of artists using their nft profile pictures as their musical alter egos, as seen when snoop dogg and eminem performed with their bored apes at the 2022 vmas. another such artist, the magic mullet, uses his dope doodle nft as the frontman of his equally dope tracks. behind the mulleted cartoon is an artist creating tracks that draw influence from pop, rap, & electronic music. when he needed to add some sauce to his song “i’m a punk”, he reached out to kissing party for this neon, eye-catching visualizer.
electric feel entertainment
electric feel entertainment seeks to inspire every moment while acting as the epicenter of development across music, brands, and culture. they represent notable names such as post malone, louis bell, bolooki, brian lee, billy walsh, omer fedi, and blake slatkin, all of whom were involved on tracks in the top 10 of the radio top 40 in march of 2020, including “that’s what i want” by lil nas x, “stay” by justin bieber and the kid laroi, and “one right now” by post malone and the weeknd. to celebrate this accomplishment, electric feel reached out to kissing party for an animation using their doodle nft. for this promotional video, the classic kp-style animated squiggles brought the doodle to life, trait by trait, before showing him get “electrified” by the songs of these electric feel artists.
