This project originally started as a showcase/visualizer for both Vandal and Destroyer clips, but the Vandal side didn’t end up coming together the way I planned. Instead of scrapping it, I leaned fully into what I had and shaped the montage around that.

The idea for this project came from going on sunset walks and hikes as spring started rolling in, with summer right around the corner. There’s something about sunsets that always brings me back to that early 2010s feeling. Being outside with nothing to worry about, just living in the moment and having fun with friends. There’s also this kind of quiet, almost nostalgic mystery to it all… like something you can’t fully explain, but you feel it. I wanted that feeling to carry into the edit, something warm, reflective, but still a little unreal.
