Creative Director · Cinematographer · Co-Founder, Causate Collective
I direct stories through light, motion, and silence — crafting brand films, campaigns, and narratives that linger long after the screen goes dark.
ScrollBrand Identity · 2021
Complete visual identity — logomark, typographic system, colour language, and motion guidelines for Causate Collective.
Brand Campaign · 2022
Full-suite branding: visual identity, campaign art direction, and digital rollout across print, social, and screen.
Digital Campaign · Ola Electric · 2023
Digital-first product launch campaign — electric mobility as a cultural shift. Bold visuals, high-contrast edits, built for scroll-stop impact.
Social Campaign · Ola Electric · 2023
Social-first campaign series shot across urban and semi-urban landscapes with a cinematic eye for texture and motion.
Ad Film · Royal Oak · 2022
A premium lifestyle campaign shot like architecture — low angles, natural light raking across grain and texture. Making furniture feel aspirational.
Ad Film · Ola · 2022
Kinetic, city-paced ad film across Indian cities — fast cuts, street aerials, and intimate driver portraits that captured urban mobility at its most alive.
Design Campaign · 2023
Multi-platform design campaign built on a strong typographic and colour system across Instagram, OOH, and digital.

Unified print-and-digital campaign — compositional grids, editorial photography, and a design language built to scale.

Web Series · Kannada · 2023
A gritty, character-driven drama set in Bengaluru — handheld, close, and deeply personal.
Web Series · Malayalam · 2023
A slow-burn psychological thriller in Kerala — desaturated palette, monsoon grays, and shadow-heavy interiors.
Short Film · Independent · 2022
An independent short exploring memory and place — shot on location over three days with a minimal crew.
I'm Amal Rajendran — Creative Director and Co-Founder of Causate Collective Pvt Ltd. My work sits at the intersection of storytelling and visual craft: I direct, I shoot, and I shape the ideas that make brands memorable.
As a cinematographer I've directed and shot web series in Kannada and Malayalam, bringing character-driven stories to screen with a particular obsession over light, texture, and silence. As a creative director I've led campaigns for brands like Ola and Royal Oak — work built to stop you mid-scroll and make you feel something.
Everything I make starts with a simple question: what should this feel like?
