PEOPLE
Embedded with Muse for the full run of their ninth studio album's world tour. Six short documentaries. Thousands of miles. Shot and edited under The Work of Jar — posted directly to Muse's YouTube channel and tagged on their TikTok through every leg.
THE CAMERA
AS DOCUMENT.
NOT DECORATION.
This is not AI work. The Work of Jar on the WOTP tour was traditional embedded documentary filmmaking — real cameras, real access, real moments. The job was to capture what happens between the show and the next city: the rehearsals, the transitions, the backstage before 20,000 people arrive. The kind of footage that never exists unless someone is there, trusted, and shooting.
EMBEDDED ACCESS
Johann was Muse's official WOTP tour photographer — not credentialed press, not a fan with a pass. Full embedded access across legs, stages, and borders. The documentary series exists because of that trust, not despite it.
EPISODIC ARCHITECTURE
Each of the six episodes was structured as a standalone short — not raw tour footage, not a recap reel. Proper edit, proper arc, proper pacing. They were crafted to live on Muse's channel as durable content, not as ephemeral social clips.
STILL + MOTION
Photography and video were executed simultaneously under one credit. Press shots, documentary stills, and motion all came from the same embedded position. The Work of Jar was a one-person integrated content operation at arena and stadium scale.
MEXICO RECAP
The opening episode. Covers the tour's first four shows: Monterrey, Guadalajara, and two nights at Mexico City's Foro Sol (January 18–23, 2023). The first footage to emerge from the WOTP headlining run — establishing the visual grammar and tone for the entire series. Shot in the festival-adjacent outdoor production before the full indoor arena rig was deployed.
REHEARSALS + CHICAGO OPENER
Documents the pre-tour rehearsals in Ontario, California — where the full indoor arena production (transparent stage floor, six moving glass LED panels, "Baph" inflatable) was assembled for the first time. Carries through to the tour opener at Chicago's United Center on February 25, 2023. The only episode to capture the production in its pre-public state.
US LEG — WEEK ONE
First week of the North American arena run. The updated production and revamped setlist had just premiered in Chicago — this episode captures the band, crew, and production finding their rhythm across the initial run of US dates. Covers the newly introduced songs and stage elements unique to the indoor arena format.
PLYMOUTH HOMECOMING + EU WEEK ONE
The Plymouth Home Park show (May 27, 2023) was Muse's first-ever headline show at that venue — and the first reveal of the upgraded outdoor stadium production with two stage wings, extended runway, and "Will the Hacker" now equipped with a LED screen inside the mask. This episode covers that milestone homecoming and the first week of the European stadium run.
EUROPEAN STADIUM HIGHLIGHTS
Clips and highlights across the full European outdoor stadium run — Cologne's RheinEnergieStadion, Paris's Stade de France, Marseille, Milan's San Siro, Rome's Stadio Olimpico, Glasgow's Bellahouston Park. The largest-scale production of the entire tour, captured across multiple countries and production formats.
KILL OR BE KILLED + BACKSTAGE
The final episode. Features Matt Bellamy speaking directly to camera about "Kill or Be Killed" — its return to the live set for the first time in full since the Black Holes and Revelations Tour — alongside pre-show backstage footage from the UK indoor autumn leg at Dublin's 3Arena, Manchester's AO Arena, and London's The O2 (October 1–2, 2023).
