Nike “Free Your Mind” Spec Spot

Few things bare witness to the continuing democratization of creative tools and talent like spec work – more specifically: spec commercials which get your blood racing as fast or faster than their full-price cousins.

Which brings us to this intense and intriguing 80-second film created by the all-German team of director Anthony Capristo, DoP Marco Schott, editor Victor Haselmayer, and VFX house Infected.
