Brand Oat Cult has released their new overnight oats product to the UK market. The rugged landscape of the Lake District was the perfect backdrop for the launch advert, which was inspired by horror directors Robert Eggers and Ari Aster, plus cult film The Wickerman.
As Art Director, I was responsible for sourcing all props and costume and set dressing the location.
Four Oat Cult masks were handmade. Each mask had a unique design that required using sheaves of real dried oat stems. Hessian sacks were also embellished to create quick masks for extra members of the cult. Custom accessories included plaited belts, a cult leader spoon necklace and tiny spoons tied to wriggling fingers.
