We’re absolutely in love with photography! Its storytelling magic and ability to connect people is amazing. But here at BAD STAR, what really gets us excited is its unique superpower – the ability to adapt and merge with other mediums, allowing the medium to thrive in today’s digital world. We are looking at how AI can combine with traditional techniques, current workflow and skillset, to assist us with time pressures. Our Head CGI Artist, Efe Kose, created this test bed piece that showcases the next evolution in photography. Even with his big moustache 🐛 the result is great. Cinemagraphs are cool, but this takes things to a whole new level!Check it out and let us know what you think! #PhotographyLovers #DigitalArt #Innovation #Cinemagraphs #NextLevel #BADSTAR #CreativeTech 

As part of UK Advertising, BAD STAR STUDIOS proudly chaired the Sustainability in Advertising roundtable this year at Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. Our stellar group's main focal point of discussion was to delve into how the advertising industry can help drive meaningful consumer behaviour change. Forming partnerships is crucial in this space to drive progress forward, and it's imperative that we knowledge-share and come together to streamline advertising production processes at the creative stage. At Bad Star, we support companies' ESG goals by promoting sustainable production strategies and reporting in creative marketing.
