History Blocks| Africa




Agency: Africa

Client: Unesco

Country: Brazil

One of UNESCO’s tasks is to protect the cultural heritage of all people around the world. Sadly, that is not always possible. Because of wars and armed conflicts, hundreds of monuments are being destroyed. Whether as collateral damage or as direct targets of cultural cleansing, they are being reduced to rubble – and so is our heritage. 

These historic places are now in danger of being left out of history. Some might never be reconstructed, and we may never be able to set foot in them again. With this in mind, we set out to keep the legacies of these endangered and destroyed heritage sites alive by rebuilding them in Minecraft.

This film had a great responsibility as the first WhatsApp film in the world. Facebook and AlmapBBDO decided to tell a real story focused on Brazilian carnival, showing a relationship between carnival rivals and a great fire that changes this relationship through the app.

MacBook Pro 16-inch|Apple




Agency: Apple

Client: Apple

Country: United States

The new 16-inch MacBook Pro was going to be the most powerful notebook Apple had ever made. But it knew there would be skepticism about its capabilities from top-tier professionals, who had been disappointed in the past. So Apple wanted to make sure these pros understood that this machine had all the capabilities they needed. 
To do this, it created a site designed around the stories and processes of four world-class pros. Rich reveals, zooms, and cinematic visuals seamlessly executed through WebGL ensured a smooth experience – no matter the platform or device.



The 9'58 Biography|PUMA Brazil




Agency: BETC São Paulo

Client: PUMA Brazil

Country: Brazil


In 2009, Usain Bolt broke the 100m world record and made history. But behind this incredible mark, there is a lot of sweat, training and effort. In 2019, ten years later, PUMA Brazil wanted to tell this story, showing an angle that few people know, creating a tribute as outstanding as the world's fastest man. 
BETC São Paulo created a biography that shows all the training and effort behind that mark. But Bolt's biography could not be an ordinary book. It had to be as fast as him. So, the biography is also a flipbook, showing an animation that lasts 9.58s, and recreating the iconic race.


The Small Escape| BMW

 


Agency: Jung von Matt

Client: BMW

Country: Germany

Jung Von Matt condensed a large story and heavy subject matter down into a highly watchable format for BMW’s The Small Escape - which tells the story of a driver trying to smuggle someone over the Bornholmer Strasse border crossing in a BMW Isetta. 
It became apparent early on that cutting the film in a linear way would be boring to watch, so Jung Von Matt opted instead for a non-linear spot, in the style of a heist movie.


1964. Berlin is a divided city. Flight from the German Democratic Republic is punished with an order to fire. Still, many people desperately try to cross the border. For all backgrounds to the true history of the spectacular escape, read the article here: https://b.mw/isetta_escape_story People forge identity papers, dig tunnels, climb into hot-air balloons and hide in cars going to the West - towards freedom. But as large vehicles are getting controlled more frequently and thoroughly, a West Berliner has a seemingly impossible but ingenious idea: the smallest and most inconspicuous car available at the time, the BMW Isetta, should help him smuggle a man across the border into the West.
