Sunglass Hut: Start With The Shades – Fire Trend ft. Cailin Russo

Sunglass Hut: Start With The Shades – Fire Trend ft. Cailin Russo

For the latest chapter in the Sunglass Hut “Start With The Shades” series, we teamed up with the talented Cailin Russo to awaken her inner fire in a truly captivating video collaboration. Working alongside our friends at RXM Creative, this project allowed us to bring our boldest creative vision to life.

At RIOT, we took on the full creative spectrum—from the edit, motion graphics, and post-production to color treatment. This iteration of “Start With The Shades” gave us the freedom to experiment with dynamic visuals that transformed Cailin’s simple performance into an artistic spectacle.

A Vision Transformed: From Simple Shots to Visual Art

We pushed the boundaries of creativity, adding unique elements that elevated the concept into a work of art. Picture zero gravity debris floating in space, a silhouette igniting in flames, laser pointers casting sharp lines as if an FBI SWAT team was locking in on Cailin, and bokeh-type fireworks in vivid colors against a stark black and white backdrop. These stylistic elements were all crafted in post-production to amplify the film’s intensity and dramatic visual appeal.

Our work was further enhanced by an original composition from Kissey, whose rhythmic glitches and captivating beats became the heartbeat of the visuals, giving the film a fluid yet bold energy that aligned perfectly with the Fire Trend’s powerful aesthetic.

Shaping a New Approach to Visual Art

What made this project truly special was how we took a simple shoot and transformed it into something truly unique. From the fire sparks to the space rocks and lasers, every addition was a new creative layer we brought in during post-production. This project marked the beginning of a new phase in how we approach visual storytelling, where each frame is treated as a piece of art, much like how MUG5 treats his still art—but in moving pictures.

It’s this fusion of visual creativity and storytelling that makes this film one of our most exciting projects to date. Every shot is meticulously crafted to evoke a specific energy, bringing to life the spirit of the Fire Trend and Cailin Russo’s powerful performance.
