Goldie x Casisdead 'Still The Same' by Elliott Gonzo

Rob Ulitski - 5th Mar 2025

Elliott Gonzo helms a dark, dystopian promo for the team-up of Goldie and Casisdead, where rapper Cas is pitted against a monstrous dictator - Goldie - and humans have been replaced by machines.

Taking cues from the likes of Blade Runner and The Matrix, the pulsating video for Still the Same plunges into a world entirely dominated by AI. Cas plays the hero on a mission to take down Goldie, the corporate bigwig who runs this ultra-sophisticated, machine-only society.

Retrofuturistic graphics and modern technology intertwine to create a fearful cityscape, with Elliott Gonzo's experience with cinematic, abstract concepts leading the way. 

This is a chilling, precise world where AI rules every corner, really messing with what we thought we knew about reality, and Gonzo balances breathtaking VFX graphics with character work and narrative, to create something grungy and visually rich.
