SMART MODEM 3

About

The Monkeys wanted to create an ad that illustrated the new tech the TSM 3 brings to Australian homes. The design language was very important from the start and something we developed closely together as the piece developed. It needed a certain visual beauty to make not only our wifi illustration seem distinct but keep it from feeling overly techy or in any way threatening.

This was a technical shoot with lots of in-camera lighting and camera queues to follow what needed to feel like an observed journey through a family home. This was all then 3D tracked and the simulations of Wifi streams and particle effects were added following the journey the camera takes us on.
