Rock Paper Scissors Blows It Up for adidas

Recent addition to the RPS roster Stewart Reeves smashes onto the scene with explosive editing in adidas’ “Blow Up”, a spot starring Washington Redskins Heisman Trophy winner RG3. Directed by Lance Acord for 180 LA, “Blow Up” is a Molotov cocktail of visceral and combustive energy, tempered by moments of stillness and beauty. Agile cuts by RPS, paired with VFX by a52, give the spot a potent push and pull.
