Partizan have worked with Katy Perry on a series of four animated videos for her just-released album Smile. Two of the videos in the series, for Harleys In Hawaii and Tucked, were entrusted to director duo Hoku & Adam. 

The monochromatic promo for Harleys in Hawaii follows a Hawaiian dancer who escapes her dead-end job and runs away with her lover (and an all-girl motorcycle gang), finally finding a place where she can thrive and call home.

Intertwining vintage, Betty Boop-style animation and Hawaiian traditions, the video is a beautiful interpretation of the track, bubbly and energetic with an undertone of empowerment and strength.

The visual for Tucked unfolds as a series of comic book frames and follows the scintillating tale of a would-be unfaithful wife. 

In Katy Perry’s playfully comedic style, the plot line finds her entangled in a sweet scandal between hubby Mr Broccoli and the hunky piece of candy next door. Wonderfully vivid and dynamic, the visual takes cues from its source material, in the form of onomatopoeia and dramatic perspective changes. And it all comes to a sizzling, eye-opening climax.

The two videos together form a strikingly unique and exciting visual perspective of the artist's sixth studio album.
