Les Cigales. Chapitre I - Fumée
This is the first chapter of a visual and narrative trilogy which goes along with the release of three tracks of the second EP by The Offline. The narrative reflects a love story, full of longing, melancholy and drama, connecting with the story of Gyptis and Protis – the founding myth of Marseille – whose love broke convention and welcomed the arrival of foreign people on French soil.
As a modern interpretation of the old greek story this shows the encounter of two individuals. The characters are caught by their own prejudices and privileges, overwhelmed by their fragile affection for each other, the love and the tenderness.
Weit weg von allem: Erzgebirge.
Mockumentary. Image Campaign
Wende, Weihnachten, weit weg. Top-Außenreporter Kleinelt macht sich auf die Suche nach der echten Provinz. Klar, dass der erzgebirgische Hinterwald am Puls der Einöde DIE Hammer-Story verspricht. Kleinkariert, abgeschrieben, bevölkert von einem zänkischen Bergvolk voll ländlicher Minderwertigkeitskomplexe. Und was findet er? Nicht mal das! Selbst Provinz können die hier nicht richtig.

"I followed the movement that startet on the dance floor, and felt a pull, and when it pulled me, I found myself led to my own very own place. [...] That night I dreamt I was hidden in a strange place, in an unknown city." /Rave. Rainald Goetz
The video follows a lost drifter and his search for relieve and purpose in music. Shot in the rainy Port of Hamburg and referencing the places where rave culture came from in the nineties. Trying to get a hold of the feeling of a club track which lost the places where it's usually unfolding.

Awareness Campaign.
Women pay up to twice as much for gender-specific hygiene items as men. Even though some products have identical ingredients. In fact, some of them only differ in their packaging’s color – pink instead of blue. On top of that, women earn 21% less for their work than men. That’s why the brief was to raise awareness for the whole topic of Pink Tax.
