Sebastian Whyte

Sebastian Whyte directs the beautifully-crafted promo for Rambert Dance in Peaky Blinders - The Redemption of Thomas Shelby.Yes, that's right. Not only is the final series of the TV show about to hit our screens, there is a new live dance theatre event that's written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, and choreographed and directed by Rambert's artistic director Benoit Swan Pouffer.&nbsp;Whyte's&nbsp;visual takes the form of a trailer for the event, and with&nbsp;familiar backdrops and characters, it serves&nbsp;as a powerful introduction to the extended Peaky Blinders story, and promises to be true to both the TV show and the Rambert brand.&nbsp;&nbsp;"The idea behind the trailer was to create a campaign that sits comfortably beside the Peaky Blinders TV series, paying homage but not coming across like a tribute band!" notes Whyte.&nbsp;"Research for the project took many shapes, from&nbsp;in-depth discussions into cameras, lenses and the joys of tungsten light, to the guns used, set design; and colouring."The result is a trailer that transcends you through the Peaky Blinders lifestyle, with drama, tension, love, tenderness and a battle."

A woman goes on a journey of escape and self-discovery, in Sebastian Whyte's powerful visual for Ben Marc.&nbsp;The video for Breathe follows the main character - played by&nbsp;Sherelle Johnson - as she travels from the city to the countryside&nbsp;and back. Filmed in London and&nbsp;South East England, this was initially inspired by the road movie genre and it works both as an engaging short film and a music video, anchored by strong performances from its cast."Originally, the plan was to have a couple on the run as the main focus," says Sebastian Whyte. "However various constraints and actors dropping out meant that we had to tweak the narrative.&nbsp;Then I became fascinated with the idea of a single female protagonist, who is fragile and vulnerable, yet strong, singleminded and independent."In a strange way, her semi-meditative journey of discovery mirrors the evolution of the film's narrative. And throughout the driving force is Ben's beautifully epic soundtrack."
