“Shockwave” visualizers.

In the summer of 2021, Marshmello’s team needed twelve visualizers for the new album “Shockwave” — for YouTube and Spotify Canvas, on a short timeline. The brief reached relit through fellow 3D artist Nino Accardi, whom Marshmello’s team had approached directly over Instagram; the work was split across a small circle of artists, and relit designed and animated two of the official pieces.

It was the studio’s first project with a major international music artist — the kind of brief where a visual has to hold attention with nothing but motion, light and a clean loop.

The two visualizers have since passed 36 million combined views across YouTube and Spotify.
