Description:
One of five viral films for the online project Black Thinking (www.blackthinking.com) launched by the cigarette-paper brand OCB.
The film features a classic film noir aspect done with computer graphics, mixing many techniques used to create a film book, including slow-motion animation, illumination, characters, etc. It is a creative mix of volumetric characters over a flat-looking background. These pieces represent a radical change in the use of the viral format, characterized in this case by a film narrative more in keeping with short films than with advertising. The director was given almost total creative freedom to develop characters and scripts based on the vignettes (from the collection promoted by OCB, available on the project’s web site and in little books distributed by licensed tobacconists).
