EsDeeKid 'Century' by DON Prod, Archie Erskine

David Knight - 20th Nov 2025
Directing duo DON Prod team up with rising director and VFX artist Archie Erskine for a furiously dark visual for Liverpool rapper EsDeeKid.
In the video for Century, the rapper who prefers anonymity exists in a threatening night-enshrouded city on a version of 'Mizzy Night' - the day before Halloween when hooligans go around and set off fireworks, break windows and cause mayhem.Â
Esdeekid is currently the subject of speculation that he is, in fact, superstar actor Timothée Chalamet. Somewhat far-fetched, although there is a cinematic connection for the Century video, that was partly inspired by a single word in the brief - Batman - and shot in the city that Christopher Nolan filmed one of his celebrated Dark Knight movies.
The directorial collaboration happened when Erskine reached out to DON Prod, who have long been fans of his VFX work. And the result is something special.
