Description:
The film opens on a large cardboard box in the middle of an empty room. An animated character, drawn onto the surface of the box, is engaged in painstaking construction of a mysterious object. At the end of the spot, the object is revealed to be a perfectly crafted cardboard Audi Q5 car, which transforms into the gleaming real car with the end tag: “We’ve unboxed the box.”
The co-directors, Aaron Duffy (1st Ave Machine) and Russell Brooke (Passion Pictures), divided their roles on the project, with Duffy taking responsibility for the the spot’s overall vision and the transfor-mation of the car and Brooke for the drawn 2D character. The spot was produced at Passion Pictures in London.
