Jacob Smith Music
Creative Director and Project Lead
When Jacob Smith set out to launch his new album, he wanted more than a release - he wanted a story that felt as raw and real as the music itself.
We built a full creative package from the ground up: two live acoustic sessions, One filmed and recorded in a single take, the other played live and edited together in post; clipped-down social edits for rollout; behind-the-scenes photography; Spotify background visuals; and album artwork and cover imagery.
The sessions took place in an old church - a space rich with atmosphere and character. We took this and enhanced it using spot lighting and haze to turn the open alcove into something warm, intimate, and cinematic. Even the drone came indoors, capturing sweeping shots that brought new life and perspective to a familiar setting.
Every note, every frame, and every light cue worked together to mirror the tone of the record, honest, handcrafted, and full of soul.
From live takes to social teasers, the result is more than content, it’s a launch that looks and feels like the music itself.
