BBC Olympics promo spots are always a grand visual treat and this 60-second VFX extravaganza by Nexus directors Factory Fifteen is no different as it sweeps viewers into an obsessively detailed, sports-infused Tokyo.
“Shot to feel like a single continuous camera move, each frame in the one-minute sequence is flooded with an array of original artwork designed by Nexus director and contemporary artist, Fantasista Utamaro. Repeat viewing is rewarded with over 50 carefully planted easter egg moments.”
Production: Nexus
Director: Factory Fifteen (Kibwe Tavares, Jonathan Gales, Paul Nicholls)
VFX: Factory Fifteen
Design: Fantasista Utamaro
Nexus: “The epic spot reimagines Tokyo with Olympic athletes and events embedded into its fabric and culture. Street signs, shops, arcades, gashapon parlors, and homes are all authentically augmented with sports, and their stars thrust center-stage.
