The Protean Creative Lab.
Each year, Protean Image Group invites exceptional directors, cinematographers, programmers, and colorists to collaborate on music video productions and experimental film projects.
As a Lab Fellow, you'll work on high-octane visual projects for independent artists, indie labels, and global acts. You'll be paired with senior filmmakers and work hands-on with 16mm film stock, custom anamorphic glass, and 3D virtual production.
But what is Protean Image Group?
A team of directors, writers, programmers, cinematographers, lighting technicians, and producers that spend 99.9% of our time making. We are a boutique studio pushing for visual impact that far outweighs our footprint. Our job is to invent the future of music cinema and communicate artists' visions in ways that hypnotize audiences.
