Ahead of the season-two premiere of Showtime's hit series Yellowjackets, the network turned to Legion Creative to help it take viewers back to the ‘90s and everybody's favorite MTV deejay, Kurt Loder.
Legion Creative deployed AI deepfake/de-aging technology to create a classic MTV News segment straight out of 1996, complete with MTV News graphic package elements, VHS-retro distressing, and some select Yellowjackets Easter eggs for the super fans.
Present-day Loder was shot in New York on greenscreen for maximum authenticity, even teasing era-appropriate stories about mad cow disease and Alanis Morissette's “Jagged Little Pill” Tour. But first Loder tosses to the “Where are the Yellowjackets” website, designed with a mid-90s web aesthetic to draw fans deeper into the Yellowjackets cross-platform experience.
Yellowjackets premiered its second season on Showtime on Sunday, March 26.
