Projection Mapping, the next big thing

So the first time that I encountered video projection was in late the December of 2013 when I attended the New years celebrations  in London. I was taken  a back by the power that these visuals carried and had mesmerized the crowd for the night....strong animations coupled with bombastic music just made the experience unforgettable.

Memories of London revived when I witnessed the launch ceremony of Samsung S8 at Lahore's iconic Shahi Qila and LuckyOne Mall's grand affair of opening the 3rd largest mall in Asia. The man behind it all Mr Umar Toor of 3Di group made this all possible in Pakistan. The finesse with which these two launches had been integrated and promoted through projection mapping definitely deserves a big round of applause.

Like London's iconic Big Ben, 3Di group strategically chose Shahi Qila for the launch ceremony of Samsung S8. The historic building in itself is a puts one in awe and vivid visuals added to the beauty of the place like never before. The building came to life..presenting to the audience reminiscent of its history and the projections unfurled a beautiful future to the Lahorites.

At Lucky One the projections showcased an illusionist who spell bounded the audience by not only the wonder of his hands but also these 3D projections. The projections were crafted to make the audience experience the tiresome journey which lead to the construction of the Mall. The experience was truly one of its kind in the magnificent amphitheater of the Mall.

Its good to know that our advertising industry is progressing towards a brighter future. Although this idea is still in its infancy in countries like Pakistan but that time isn't far away when our projections will be as suave as those sitting in the developed nations of the world.Groups like 3Di will surely pave way towards refining this technology even more and couple it with improved a audio visual effects to create an experience that will be etched on the consumer's mind forever...!!

Sana,the new savior for Olpers....

The very sight of Sana Bucha advocating Olpers for being as pure as milk makes me gag at times. When the advert hit the TV screens initially it seemed to me like an honest move towards re building consumer trust towards the tetra packed milk products. It also made a lot of sense to get a strong personality like Sana to advocate the brand and refute all the claims made against it. However, slowly and gradually the entire campaign seemed to fall down on its knees as it looked as if the brand was unable to draw a line between making consumers to trust their favorite milk brand again and begging them to pay it the much needed heed, Telling the consumers that Olpers can stay good  for upto 3 months as it goes through some super sci fi UHT process and then the very next second covering this whole sci fi gibberish up by saying that it does rot like our good old cow milk...Oxymoronic much! Even in this age and time...some advertisers believe that the consumer will be sawyed by ou...

The Masala Wars

Following the ramazan bandwagon and the much hyped recent advertisement of Shan the creative minds at National could not sit tight and got to their feet. Their recent advertisement depicts a mini bait bazi contest where the actors try to connect the dots to National's portfolio of products. In all honesty it was a good but a poorly executed effort. In times like these when people switch TV channels or drift off to their cell phones the minute they get the slight feeling of being bored, no one would sit and watch a 3 minute 50 second long ad. I somehow failed to connect with it,maybe it was because of the actors not fully engaging me in their experience, or the fact that the tradition of bait bazi stands dead in today's digitized era or maybe  the  fact that this very theme of celebrating Eid and Ramazan with pardesis  has been explored and exploited by our very dear competitor,Shan. Shan did a wonderful job of communicating the Eid in Pardes feeling last year when...
