May 18, 2017
18th May 2017 by CH
What
Walkers crisps chose us to create a short video to promote their festive interactive augmented reality app, created in collaboration with Blippar, and show consumers how to download it.
The video combines eye-catching motion graphics, in-app visuals and voice-over, which explains how you can use the app, whilst maintaining an exciting tone-of-voice and a festive atmosphere and music.
When
The video was launched 4 weeks before Christmas but the pre-production took place weeks before the release date because of the scripting and planning involved.
How
One of the main aims of the video was to engage the audience right from the start, which is why the first 3 seconds were crucial for grabbing attention. We worked closely together with the Walkers marketing team to write the script, design the storyboard and casting actors for the shoot, to ensure that the video captured the desired excitement and conveyed the right message, whilst remaining on brand and on trend.
Where
The video was promoted across the social media channels that Walkers are present on, with an emphasis on Facebook.
Results
The original Facebook video amassed an impressive 750k views, 73 shares, 520 likes and 99 comments. It was then shared again a week later and gained a further 168k views.

Fast turnaround videos. What we do and what our clients do to make it work. Our Managing Director, Emily Blanden, shares what we’ve learned from creating fast-turnaround videos for our clients - without the panic stations. From getting the brief nailed down early to keeping feedback clear and speedy, Emily talks through the little things that make a big difference when deadlines are tight. My team might not thank me for writing this. We’ve just completed two motion graphics projects on extremely tight turnarounds. A three minute video briefed in and delivered within six working days. A five minute video done in four. Sharing how we did this might result in us getting even more last minute briefs, sorry in advance to my team! Short lead time work is stressful. We’d always love more time. But over the years we’ve developed a process that makes it possible to create quality work, fast and I think it’s worth sharing, because a lot of it comes down to what both sides of the relationship do along the way.

When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
