BIEN
OMAR

“You come at the king, you best not miss.” When we decided to pay tribute to Omar Little, one of the greatest fictional characters of all time, we knew we had to do him justice. Omar represents BIEN's vision of inclusivity at its finest. He shattered stereotypes and brought a distinctly personal and intersectional voice to the HBO crime TV landscape. Our goal was to make this piece as cinematic as possible. Because a man must have a code, right?

The creative lent itself to 3D execution, but we wanted to capture realistic dynamics of the cocaine breaking out of the shattered chess piece. We used a combination of 3D printing, live action cinematography, and compositing to capture the essence of the character. Our legal team urges us to point out that we filled the chess pieces with baking powder, not illegal substances. We aim for authenticity, but there are exceptions. 😂
