The Grammy Award-Winning duo Aggressive aka Alex Topaller and Dan Shapiro is best known for the visual wizardry they inject into their music videos and commercials.
The two met not long after Alex moved to the US, hopscotching through Israel, Belgium and Russia. He and the New York City native Dan became fast friends, discovering that in addition to their obsessions with music and impulsive road trips, they shared a mutual talent and taste for creating gorgeous visuals onscreen. Both proficient in visual effects, the two got their start creating corporate branding campaigns for G2 / Grey Worldwide, and swiftly moved into the glossy post-production world of music videos and commercials, before setting off to direct on their own. With a hands-on attitude, the two personally tackle their projects intensively and in all aspects, from concept to live-shoot to post production and VFX, ensuring every frame gets their own personal touch.
To date, Aggressive has directed music videos for some of the world's biggest artists (Juanes, Megadeth, Bloc Party, etc.), as well as a number of broadcast and online spots for clients such as MTV, Subway, AT&T, UL, and more.
