'Our business is infested with idiots who try to impress by using pretentious jargon.' - David Ogilvy
Vodafone
BlackBerry Promotional launch video
..................................................................
I was commissioned by Digit London to art direct, design and animate
this motion sequence for a Vodafone installation at Heathrow, Terminal
1.
The animation itself is just over a minute long.
Its purpose was to attract the eye of businessmen/women. The objective
was to promote the unique services and functions that this phone had
to offer for its users.
The animation played on a 50" plasma screen that turned on its
side; hence the unusual 'non-PAL' format.
The plasma screen was built in to a six foot model of the Vodafone
BlackBerry 7100v phone, which is housed in a 'pod-like' unit for interested
on-lookers to find out more information.
Due to success of the pod and the animation Vodafone ordered fourteen
BlackBerry pods to be made and sent them on a worldwide promotional
tour.
