Colourist Derek Hansen of The Mill collaborated with Director Lawrence Lamont and Freenjoy to illustrate the vivid imagery in Big Sean’s VMA-winning, ‘Light’ ft. Jeremih.
The powerful film, which won in the Best Fight Against the System category, depicts the prevalent racial and cultural violence that plagues today’s society. The broad range of colour reflects the different environments wherein the violence takes place: bright tones reflect the wonders of childhood innocence while the pitch dark echoes the vulnerability of the night.
