To express the massive HD entertainment gaming experience of PlayStation 3, agency TBWAChiatDay commissioned the talents of Superfad who set out to design an animated universe that literally explodes from the system. In addition to showcasing the immersive and dramatic realm of PlayStation 3, Superfad was challenged to design a commercial where every frame would work as a printed still.
This ambitious and exciting project was unleashed on the world today. TBWAChiatDay
According to the Superfad team, the spot was designed for a "sophisticated audience who would appreciate the notion of controlled chaos." Using a sculptural approach, Superfad envisioned a console from which hyper-real glossy worlds burst forth and contract, while the viewer is plunged seamlessly from one gaming experience to the next.
Dynamic shifts and integrated macro transitions are a key part of this intense commercial, which was produced as 60 and 30-second spots using Maya and AfterEffects.
