Brief

The Kembe X site had to premiere the Crooks & Castles video and sell the Sleep Paralysis LP on vinyl, plus a tee.

Idea

Before the video, a heist. A green terminal decrypts the vault and opens the bank accounts of five parody billionaires. Hit Transfer Funds to the People and their balances drain into a single account held by The People.

Result

An artist site with the terminal intro and transfer sequence, the Crooks & Castles video, a vinyl and tee shop and an email list. Visitors with reduced motion turned on skip straight past the intro.
