Summary
A cinematic tribute to three decades of Korn’s visual legacy, created for a landmark stadium celebration.

Challenge
EFFIXX Studio directed and produced a cinematic trailer for Korn’s 30th anniversary stadium show at BMO Stadium in collaboration with Velvet Hammer Music & Management. The piece celebrates the band’s iconic music videos and photography across three decades, weaving archival textures, contemporary motion / sound design, and atmospheric storytelling into a unified homage to Korn’s enduring cultural impact.
Approach
We built the trailer as a visual passage through Korn’s evolving universe. Interstitial CG vignettes draw from recurring themes and symbols across the band’s imagery, acting as connective tissue between eras rather than literal recreations. An immersive sonic montage by NONE drives the pacing and emotional arc, while a time-travel metaphor—developed in close collaboration with the client—guides the viewer through each chapter of the band’s history, translated into its own visual language of electricity and neural connection.
Production Stills + Style Frames
CG / VFX / Art Direction
Production stills and style frames capture key moments from the trailer’s development, highlighting the evolution of visual motifs, CG vignettes, and tonal direction. These frames illustrate how Korn’s iconic imagery was distilled into contemporary cinematic forms, bridging archival influence with modern texture, lighting, and motion.


The Result
Built as both a teaser and a historical reflection, the trailer channels Korn’s evolving visual language—raw, surreal, and emotionally charged—into a modern cinematic form. From early-era iconography to contemporary textures, the piece bridges past and present, honoring the band’s legacy while setting the tone for a once-in-a-generation live event.
