See Whats Possible Contest
When we heard that Cut & Paste, our favorite design battle organizers was holding a sponsored contest for Adobe we jumped at the opportunity to flex our muscles and participate in a spirited design challenge. After a little brainstorming and a few days in After Effects we submitted two :15 pieces we were pretty proud of. We were psyched when our "Amazing Factory" spot was selected as a finalist. Congrats to all the other finalist.

RAV 4

The challenge was to make already seen footage look fresh and impactful. Original spot was shot and created by director Paul Street. Using Cinema 4D and cube transitions the vehicle transforms into various types of vehicles showcasting RAV4's versatility. The spot illustrates how footage can be creatively re-purposed to extend a campaign.
