Awards:
Overview
Credits
CampaignDescription
Max's approach was to tell a love letter to LA, a city loved by Elton John and his co-writer, and a city which holds driving above all else. He chose to tell a complex and interweaving story as complicated as the city streets.

Outcome
The Tiny Dancer video was shared on Elton John's vevo, picked up by all mainstream music press and has reached over 8M views.
Relevancy
Max Weiland's competition-winning clip for Elton John is a love letter to LA.
A woman drives to scatter some ashes, whilst another drives for the joy of being in the city at night. A parking attendant takes an expensive car for a spin and a group of young girls live it up in a limo on the strip. Also, Marilyn Manson(!) shows up in surprising, out-of-persona cameo.
Strategy

Synopsis
Elton John launched a competition in 2017 to create music videos for three of his most famous songs that never had a video to go with them.
He wanted unique stories that grasped the quality and heritage of the songs, whilst also creating modern, striking and new visuals.
