Samsung ‘Curved TV’ global launch
Global launch campaign for the world’s first curved 4K TV
Launch for the world’s first curved 4K UHD television with a cinematic TV ad to reflect the product's capabilities. Shot on location in New Zealand the spot is set in a Roman-style arena, with a chillingly young despotic emperor directing menacing gladiators. A father and son in their pyjamas find themselves at the heart of the action as they watch from (as it's eventually revealed) their sofa on a massive curved screen. The production required a huge cast and crew with 350 extras, a purpose-built coliseum in a disused quarry and bespoke costumes. VFX house MPC created the crowd scenes in CG, paying painstaking attention to detail as the ultra high resolution means that effectively, every minute expression on faces in the crowd can be seen.
