Armstrong World Industries had a novel idea to communicate the power of their new pre-construction design services to architects.
AWI dubbed the video “infotainment”. As a production company experienced in creating original content and always looking to leverage originals power for advertising, we called it brilliant.
MAKE/ won the job by keeping to AWI’s production parameters, but much to our delight, Armstrong asked how we might take it up another level. The result was a Minority Report approach. Graphics projected in mid-air. In an environment that did not exist. Read — a ton of CGI, including 2D, 3D, and compositing. This project was a challenge, but our killer team, including internal design and tech talent from AWI, embraced and delivered. The link to the full video is in our bio!
