For their project Can't Judge a Book, Mastercard explores music and narrative through a cinematic lens. The film presents a collection of stylized vignettes, moving from the intimate confines of a vintage, dimly lit motel room to an ornate lounge setting and an outdoor performance space.
Directed through the lens of a moody aesthetic, the work utilizes dramatic lighting and a distinct color palette of muted greens and warm tungsten accents. The production, supported by the agency McCann XBC and production house Believe Media UK, relies on live-action technique to establish its atmospheric tone, with sound design and music curation provided by We Are Walker.
