To promote the latest volume of Love, Death + Robots, we set out to capture the series’ unapologetically adult sense of humor in a way that could break through fast-scrolling feeds and spark instant conversation. The result: a 52-second vertical fever dream that turns the series’ most provocative moments into a playful—and escalating—tribute to intimacy.
Cut entirely from existing series footage, the edit zeroes in on visual and verbal moments tied to lovemaking, stitching them together in a rapid-fire sequence that starts suggestively and builds into a frenzied crescendo. Each clip is deliberately brief, no longer than a heartbeat, creating a rhythm that mirrors the very activity it cheekily portrays.
The editorial challenge lay in balancing provocation with comedic timing. Using precise match cuts, we bridged vastly different episodes and animation styles with seamless motion continuity. Rotoscoped text treatments punctuate key beats, integrating dialogue and sound bites directly into the visual flow. As the tempo quickens, the cuts get shorter, driving the audience toward a punchline that lands with equal parts surprise and satisfaction.
Beyond shock value, the pacing structure was engineered to mimic human anticipation—slow build, quick escalation, and a climactic finish—while staying safely within platform guidelines. The humor disarms, the craftsmanship impresses, and the underlying editing design ensures that even casual viewers feel pulled into the joke.
By using speed, rhythm, and visual wit, this piece turned existing IP into a fresh social object—provocative enough to make viewers pause their scroll, laugh out loud, and hit replay to the tune of 1.4 million views and more than 75,000 total engagements. In a campaign about love, death, and robots, this edit proved that sometimes… all you need is love.
