Director duo—and VFX masterminds—Cokau Lab’s new experimental series centers around color. The three experimental shorts started from AI-generated imagery that was reshaped and enriched through the duo’s distinctive visual language.
Black Omen is an experiment of light and texture around dark objects. These portentous images—crows, tar, the deep sea—clash with and even sequester the color around them. It is a moody, dramatic world of mystery and danger but also an incredible elegance.
Purple Brain breathes energy into still life—drawing from Cokau’s beauty and tabletop expertise. An electrifying camera takes us from molecules to galaxies in seconds, molding speed to frame the spectacular—a bird taking flight, a petal in bloom, the volatility of fluids.
Gold Spell closes the series with the duo’s impossible chic—honed from their work for luxury brands, anywhere from cosmetics to watches to automobiles. But these shimmering objects exist in desolate, worlds—like Ozymandias’ riches in a tempest of sand.
