Anthony Dickenson & Time Based Arts got in touch with me again. This time to lead on a innovative campaign for Diesel TimeFrames, by Crispin Porter & Bogusky, that inspires people to make the most of the time they are alive. Based on some real science and a good dose of humour, calculates the number of days users have to live. The online questionnaire was to be accompanied by a TV spot to drive visits to the online website.

After extensive meetings with Anthony and Storythings regarding the content and flow between environments a storyline was decided. It was my responsibility to oversee how  we would visually get through the story from start to finish and Storythings’ to direct us technically. There was a huge amount of fantastic content captured by Anthony on the two day studio shoot, utilising a twin Red Epic camera rig and multiple pick up cameras.

Storythings set about programming the interactivity of the online questionnaire element whilst we streamlined the images and constructed the scenes.
