Drake, a VMA performer and dual award nominee, relaxes in impossibly cool Frank Sinatra-style 1950s black and white while his crowd waits breathlessly stageside for his appearance - footage shot in color and then graded to be black and white. Eagleton used various filters in the resolve to create an authentic, stunning look for the spot.
