Mathematic accompanied the artistic direction and post-production of Lil Nas X's latest video for the release of his sulphurous new single "J CHRIST". After MONTERO (CBYN), this is the second time that this emblematic artist has called on our teams to offer an original, extraordinary, and chiseled vision of his universe.
During the two months of this Dantesque collaboration, we created the VFX and the environments of this XXL queer peplum thanks to the special care of a team of more than 40 passionate artists.
A visual epic of the biblical scope of which we are all very proud.
