Working with my idols MK12 and on the title sequence for the 22nd installment of the James Bond franchise, was especially awesome given the rich legacy of Bond’s signature openings. Maurice Binder’s original visual language that’s become synonymous with the franchise: bold, seductive, mysterious, and packed with metaphor. To be entrusted with contributing to that legacy was a true honor.

For Quantum of Solace, the sequence leaned into a modern, stylization—playing with negative space, surreal desert landscapes, and sleek, minimal motifs that reflected Bond’s emotional state and the film’s tone: raw, fractured, and personal. While the core elements of glamour, danger, and intrigue were still present—our “girls, guns, smoke, and steam” replaced the steam for sand, added in some fire and psychedelics for good measure instead of smoke, maintained the girls, just with sand really, also with guns. Yeeeeeeeeeah baby.
