Michael Aldag 'Ghosted' by Henry Oliver

Rob Ulitski - 25th Oct 2021

Henry Oliver blurs the line between our online and offline worlds, in this radiant promo for Michael Aldag. 

The video for Ghosted explores the role technology plays in our everyday lives, seamlessly blending studio setups with mobile phone footage. 

Playful and effortlessly charming, it's another knockout performance from the rising artist, with an equally mesmerising visual from Oliver.

HENRY OLIVER:

We were able to create the vibrant look we wanted while showcasing Michael’s charisma. 

"We challenged ourselves with this one by attempting to use in-camera perspective tricks to jump from phone to studio shots in order to sell the polarity of peoples' personalities, on and off the internet.

"It's always a risk when working with greenscreen - something I try to avoid when possible. But thankfully we were able to create the vibrant look we wanted all while showcasing Michael’s on-screen charisma.

"It was a pleasure to work with Michael, a man beyond his years, who brought a lot of creative input into the project and showed a clear understanding of the process and how to improve it."
