LONDON UNDERGROUND - ESCALATOR RIBBON SCREENS

Engaging passengers like never before

The out of home campaign featured on the brand new digital ribbon screen, a continuous ultra-HD screen running the entire length of selected London Underground Station escalators. The CGI suitcase personas meant we could animate our skier to perform dramatic moves sliding down the ‘escalator slopes’.

Pioneering and pushing digital OOH capabilities

This became the first ever digital creative advertisement to utilise the full length digital ribbon screens with animation flowing from the top to bottom monitor.

 
 

BEHIND THE SCENES

Character styling and development

Each suitcase character had a character persona mood-board created to reflect the passenger type of they represented.

Movement and storyboarding

Realistic movement was important which was perfected with testing in both physical and CGI environments.
