Introducing crPhage

We teamed up with Locus Biosciences to help introduce their CRISPR Cas-3 technology to a wider audience of researchers and investors. Together, we ended up with a short film that shows the Cas-3's mechanism of action while emphasizing the real dangers of antibiotic overuse.

Beyond the hero film, the visual assets became a library for the brand. The same microbiome worlds, phages and bacteria were reused across promotional videos, web designs and presentations, giving Locus a consistent visual language for explaining their technology.
