Epstein Who?

This is a satirical music video inspired by the way media and powerful people "rebrand" and bury dark scandals. I wanted to use a bright, bubblegum-pink, "Barbie" aesthetic to create a jarring contrast with the song's dark, political lyrics.

What it does

This 2:25 satirical music video (in 9x16 vertical format) critiques the 'Epstein' scandal. It uses a catchy pop song to highlight the absurdity of "wealthy and unbothered" individuals rewriting history.

How we built it

This is a 9x16 vertical video. I used AI to generate all the visual gags: the "Jeffrey Who?" doll, the "Privacy Booths" with rubber ducks, the "Ancient History" powder. The song and lyrics were written and produced to be a subversive pop anthem.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge was toeing the line. How do you make a piece about a dark, sensitive subject that is also "fun" to watch? Satire was the only way, and it required carefully balancing the light visuals with the dark message.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud of the sheer density of the visual gags. Every frame has a new joke (the rubber ducks, the "Judge" sashes). It's a complete, high-production piece that looks and sounds incredible.

What we learned

Satire is the perfect tool to deliver a sharp, critical message. The catchy "pop" wrapper makes the dark message even more potent and shareable.

This is a complete, standalone music video. It's a template for future political music video spoofs.
