OVERVIEW
Netflix and MATTE came together for a night of music and photography to celebrate the highly anticipated premiere of REBEL MOON PART TWO - THE SCARGIVER and the launch of Netflix’s EP album “Songs of The Rebellion”. MATTE not only produced the music campaign for the launch of the EP, but also hosted the launch event at with the cast and musical performances from Black Coffee, Jessie Reyez, Tokimonsta and more.

NETFLIX - JALO! MUSIC VIDEO
Collaborating with director duo 91 Rules, Netflix, Rebel Moon filmmakers, and musicians Tokischa & Tainy, we expanded the narrative of the Bloodaxe family into a music video. The story of Devra & Darrian Bloodaxe was intricately woven into the story, incorporating easter eggs from the film and VFX to connect the film's world with ours— set to Tainy & Tokischa’s track “JALO!” Crafting a landscape rich with Rebel Moon set pieces, enemy Imperium cargo, and Rebel firearms, our all star production team seamlessly integrated the world of the Bloodaxes into a few key practical set environments. Here, Devra and Darrian Bloodaxe, portrayed by Tokischa and Tainy, were depicted being pursued by enemy Imperium drones, brought to life by our VFX partners, Actual Objects.

ARTISTS PORTRAITS REIMAGINED
By morphing the star musicians and actors into their film characters, MATTE developed hero portraits that present talent within dramatic landscapes— each inspired by Rebel Moon's visual identity. Rolling out across each musician’s owned social channels, the hero portraits explore core narrative themes from the film: Awakening, Resilience, Transformation, Redemption, and Harmony.

THE SCARGIVER RELEASE PARTY
MATTE produced a launch party at Brooklyn's Knockdown Center, immersing guests in the film's cinematic universe with musical performance from EP artists Black Coffee, Jessie Reyez, and Tokimonsta as well as appearances from Zack Snyder and the cast of the films. We brought artist sets to life in the world of Rebel Moon, with scenic elements and lighting design tailored for each artist, reflecting the essence of their respective characters' worlds from the movie. Tokimonsta was bathed in a yellow hue, evoking Daggus, the home of Nemesis. Jesse Reyez was illuminated in red, inspired by Veldt, while Black Coffee was given a monochromatic black and white scheme, accentuated with twin laser beams reminiscent of the film's spaceship cannons.
