L'Oréal | BRIGHT REVEAL

Case Study

L’Oréal Paris decided to push the boundaries of the possible and introduce to the world an entirely new product – BRIGHT REVEAL. At Unreal Visual, we embarked on the production of an advertising spot aimed not only at introducing this innovative product but also at showcasing its immediate effect on the skin. Our targets were clear: to create something that would appeal to our target audience while also providing a unique visual experience.

BRIGHT REVEAL – In the Best Light

The main challenge was to present the BRIGHT REVEAL product in the best light – both literally and figuratively. We wanted to demonstrate that this product makes it possible to see an immediate change in the skin. At the same time, to create an advertising video that is fresh, modern, and different from previous campaigns.

At Unreal Visual, we were responsible for creating the main spot, the trendy spot, and their shorter versions, in three language versions – Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian.

Main Commercial

The creative approach included the use of three influencers, with whose help we wanted to introduce the product. We opted for a dynamic scenario that would draw the viewer into the story and show the transformation of the atmosphere from dark to light after applying the BRIGHT REVEAL product. A key element was visual storytelling, which combined innovative camera techniques, such as the use of a Technocrane for smooth and dynamic shots, with minimalist set design and stylish costumes.

The visual style was inspired by global campaigns and aimed to present the product as the key to a new, brighter world. Creating a contrast between the initial darker atmosphere and the bright, illuminated finale, which symbolized the product’s effect, was crucial.

Dynamic and Practical Guide

The TRENDY video serves not only as a visually engaging presentation but also as a practical guide, showing how to effectively use BRIGHT REVEAL products together to achieve the best possible result.

In an effort to stay true to the minimalist spirit of the entire campaign, the video was filmed against a purely white canvas, allowing all attention to focus on the products and their application. A short but dynamic sequence of clips highlights the ease of use and effectiveness of the products, adding a modern and trendy touch to the presentation that resonates with the target group of the L’Oréal Paris brand.

L'Oréal | REVITALIFT

Case Study

At Unreal Visual, we had the honor of collaborating with L’Oréal Paris on their Revitalift campaign. We bring you insight into this cooperation, which combines creativity and technical skills with L’Oréal’s innovative approach to marketing.

Three Types of Commercials

Our collaboration with L’Oréal involved creating three different types of video ads: Awareness video, ASMR video, and FILTR video. Each type was carefully designed to resonate with the young audience on TikTok and Instagram while faithfully representing the values of the L’Oréal brand.

Our task was to create three different types of video ads. All in three language versions – Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian. In addition, we also created ASMR audio tracks for Spotify.

Awareness

Our goal was to create a spot that captures and retains the attention of young viewers on TikTok and Instagram. We focused on dynamic product visualization, from quick detailed shots of the serums to the use of sophisticated LED walls to create an attractive and modern background. This combination brought freshness and energy to the ad.

The intention was for the set design to be minimalist yet impressive. We chose lights and LED walls that perfectly supported the products, while ensuring that every element of the set reflected the luxury and quality that L’Oréal Revitalift represents.

ASMR

ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) is a phenomenon characterized by a pleasant sensation of tingling or relaxation that people experience in response to certain visual or auditory stimuli. In advertising and video content, ASMR is becoming an increasingly popular tool, particularly for its ability to create a strong emotional connection with the viewer.

The ASMR spots were designed to provide an intimate and personal experience through the use of detailed sound effects and whispering. The goal was to strengthen the connection between the product and the viewer, create an emotional bond, and simultaneously inform about the product.

To visually support this concept, we completely surrounded influencers in the image with a large array of microphones capturing their whispers. We then created the ASMR versions of the spots in a pure audio form for Spotify.

Spotify CZE ASMR:

FILTR

The concept of the FILTR commercials was designed with the idea of an influencer creating authentic content for her followers. The viewer witnesses the influencer applying L’Oreal Revitalift products while providing interesting information about them. During this, graphic titles appear on the screen, highlighting the key features of the products.

The spot begins with a shot of the Instagram interface, which the influencer then removes with a simple gesture, symbolizing the authenticity of her message – as if saying, ‘Filter? No, this is real.’ The entire video is processed in light tones with significant use of lavender color, matching our products.

At Unreal Visual, we are proud to have been part of a project that resonates with the younger generation. The L’Oréal Revitalift advertisement brings a refreshing approach to marketing targeted at the young. With a combination of dynamic visual style, influencer marketing, and ASMR, this campaign effectively communicates the values and properties of the products while respecting modern trends and preferences of the young audience.

ROSSMANN | CAREWEAR

Case Study

In Unreal Visual, we were delighted to accept the challenge from DDB Prague agency and transformed their brief into a creative and visually stunning campaign for ROSSMANN CAREWEAR.

The brief from DDB Prague agency was comprehensive and detailed, providing us with a clear framework and expectations for the project. Our goal was to create a video and key visuals that not only met the agency’s specifications but also exceeded expectations and pushed the boundaries of traditional marketing.

Our task was to create a total of five versions of the video (6s, 15s, 30s, 60s, and a vertical 15s format). In addition to the commercials, we created four key visuals.

Process of Creating the Creative Design

The first step was a thorough analysis of the brief from the agency. From the brief, we gathered key information about the target audience, communication style, advertisement spot concept, and the main values of the ROSSMANN CAREWEAR brand. With these insights, we approached the development of our creative design, which was not only to meet the brief but also to bring new, fresh energy into the project.

Creative Design

Water, seaweed, fashion, sensuality, skin, and contrast. These words served as a guide throughout the project and inspired us to create a unique visual style.

Nature, represented mainly by water and sunbeams, is the centerpiece of the entire creative design. We don’t pretend to be at a real location – why hide something that is obvious and not instead turn it into an advantage that we are filming in a movie studio?

Things like a white background and artificial sun projected on it, or our own piece of “sea,” albeit only a few square meters in size, create a striking contrast to natural elements.

Realization

For filming and photography, we created a main set in the studio, consisting of an artificial pool filled with water and complemented by other props. The white background allowed us to create light projections reflected directly from the water’s surface.

Actors, Makeup, and Styling

The selection of actors was crucial. We focused on diversity to ensure our content resonated with a broad spectrum of viewers. Makeup and hairstyles were designed to support the connection with the brand and nature, emphasizing a natural yet ostentatious look. The “wet look” perfectly complemented the overall visual of our spot.

Cinematography and Lighting

We divided the entire spot into two parts. The first – more mysterious, allowed us to use softer lighting. Camera movements are also longer and dreamier. During this phase, using a voiceover, we explain the message to the viewer and keep them in suspense.

In the second phase, we answer the viewer’s questions and dispel the veil of mystery. The second part of the spot starts with a change in lighting atmosphere – symbolized by the sunrise. Contrasting sunbeams fill the studio. The editing, camera movements, and sound design become more intense. The spot is more energetic, ensuring we keep the viewer’s attention until the very end of the spot – the sunset with a packshot of the ROSSMANN CAREWEAR products.

The ROSSMANN CAREWEAR project was a great opportunity for us to demonstrate our ability to transform a creative vision into reality.

Komerční banka | PURE

Case Study

Transforming CO2 into Art

At Unreal Visual, we enthusiastically embarked on the KB PURE project, representing a synergy between innovations in sustainability and fashion. This was in partnership with Komerční banka and the advertising agency DDB Prague.

Advertising Campaign by DDB Prague

Through this campaign, Komerční banka positions itself as an innovator in the field of carbon neutrality. This vision is embodied in the effort to transform CO2 into useful products, such as payment cards and fashionable clothing.

Our task was to create a 60-second main spot, a 30-second shorter version, and to shoot additional footage for use in TV commercials. Additionally, we created several shorter formats for use on other platforms.

PURE Fashion Collection and LanzaTech Technology

In collaboration with the design studio LAFORMELA, the PURE collection was created, made from recycled CO2 transformed into textile material using LanzaTech technology. The collection was presented as a symbol of innovation and the desire for a carbon-neutral world.

The Role of Unreal Visual in the Project

Our role in this project was to create a visually striking video that would present this unique campaign. Key elements were fashion, purity, and minimalism, embodied in every shot.

One of the most striking features of the video was a digitally created payment card.

Script and Voiceover

The video script was carefully designed to convey the message of the campaign, using the metaphorical transition from light, airy smoke to a materialized payment card and finally to fashionable clothing. The voiceover plays a key role. Voiceover guiding viewers through the entire story. From the idea of reducing atmospheric CO2 to its transformation into useful products.

The KB PURE project demonstrates how advertising can be a tool for conveying important messages about sustainability and innovation. We are proud to have been part of this initiative, and that our work contributed to the shift towards a carbon-neutral future.

VODAFONE YOUTH

Case Study

How we created commercials for VODAFONE in collaboration with McCann Prague

Our task was to create a series of commercials that appeal to the young target audience and demonstrate that being oneself, with all our quirks, is the best thing we can do. The key message was to support individuality and originality.

“Being Yourself”

Our main goal was to create content that is honest, authentic, and resonates with young people. We decided on the concept of “observational spots,” where we became observers of everyday, yet unusual situations that young people experience. Each spot was designed to tell a story that, despite its simplicity, is emotionally charged and true to life.

Visuals, Emotion, Hook

Observational spots based on situations or emotions have a wonderful charm. But since we operate in the relentless world of online, it was necessary to start the spots with something that captures attention. We opted for a combination of macro shots and detailed shots using light changes that reflect the emotional states of the characters. For example, a shot of an eye or a finger on a phone as an initial “hook” precedes the main part of the story.

Sound and Music

Sound plays a key role in our storytelling. We decided to use sound design that expands the reality of the characters, and music that supports the emotional changes the characters experience. For instance, the use of muted sounds in tense moments and their return to normal when the characters feel better.

“Neomezeně cringe” VODAFONE YOUTH

This project was not only a challenge for us but also an opportunity to demonstrate our ability to transform creative ideas into effective commercials. We believe that our work will help strengthen the relationship between the Vodafone brand and the young generation and support their desire to be themselves.

ČEZ

Case Study

At a time when people are grappling with financial challenges and rising energy prices, ČEZ, in collaboration with the advertising agency McCann Prague, launches a campaign that offers concrete solutions and support.

This campaign, building on the concept of “positive energy”, focuses on three key areas: Self-reading, specialists at Czech Post, and a counseling service during financial hardship.

The task for our production at Unreal Visual was, based on the materials and script provided by the agency, to create three spots for each key area, targeted at three different audience groups.

The spot “Self-reading” dedicated to the theme: Energy under control

Our creative vision

We were excited about the idea of simple, minimalist spots where the camera becomes a kind of probe into the lives of our characters. We wanted everything to feel as real as possible. The basic concept was therefore uniform for all spots.

In the first phase, we introduce our characters through fragments in their living space. This part is also complemented by the inner voice of our character, which serves as an emotional starter, making us further interested in the character itself. For example: “What I mainly needed to find out was how long my price is valid for and how it works with the capping.”

The spot “Post” dedicated to the theme: Specialists at Czech Post.

In the next phase of the spot, we introduce our character in their normal activity. An activity where we see how well they are doing. How full of hope and gratitude they are. We add direct speech, for example: “The counseling service during financial hardship, recommended by ČEZ, helped spread out the payments until our situation improves.”

We conclude the spot with a departure from the window, through which we see our character in a broader context. We liked the premise of the window acting as a connector between the inner and outer worlds. The longer departure also gives the viewer a greater chance to process the emotions gathered during the spot. First, we follow our characters through details and end with the context in which they live.

The spot “Counseling” dedicated to the theme: Counseling service during financial hardship.

Each spot was designed to communicate specific ways ČEZ helps its customers, while also showing that the company is there for them in good times and bad. Through this approach, each spot contributes to a better perception of the ČEZ brand, demonstrating that “positive energy” is more than just a slogan – it’s a commitment.

Livesweaters

Livesweaters

16mm film, levitating ball, golf carts, sheep or a ring of fire. All this in a promotional branded video that we created for the fashion brand Livesweaters.


Assignment

Creating an advertising branded video that aims to emphasize the uniqueness and originality of the products in a modern and original way. Personalizing the “Be The Show” brand claim and promoting a new premium collection of products aimed at golfers.

Implementation

We try to metaphorize the “Be The Show” brand claim in the spot. Meaning break the rules and be an individual who does not let trends and conventions bind them. To do so, we used not only the right choice of casting and locations, but also the visual itself, as we decided to combine two different formats in one video – 16:9 and 4:3. The 4:3 format is shot on analog 16mm film.

Analog 16mm film

We decided to use a slightly unconventional form to highlight other benefits of products made from merino wool in the spot. Ecology – environment, sheep friendly (barber with sheep), individuality – models and their manners, or non-flammability.

All products in one video

To make the most of the advertising video, we decided to have the models gradually wear all Livesweaters products.

UTOPY

UTOPY

How we let for UTOPY a rock grow in the studio, parked a van on the Moon and made our own sunset for UTOPY.


Assignment

UTOPY prides itself on the principles of slow fashion community. Their clothing with unique designes is not only meant for fitness, but also as a lifestyle brand for everyday wear. The emphasis is on making women not only look good but also feel good in the clothing. The goal is to make two brand promoting videos and a series of photos that match the visual style of the videos.

Implementation

Our goal was to deviate from the ordinary view of fashion video and make the whole spot more artistic and abstract. So we immediately crossed out the idea of the actors thoughtlessly walking through various spaces and thought about what really characterizes UTOPY. When we were looking at the colors and patterns that UTOPY uses, words like speed, variety and agility came to mind. We wanted the viewers to see that they could feel good looking in their clothes, that they could feel “alive”.

"Feel alive feel UTOPY"

The world of UTOPY that we wanted to create cannot be found in nature. In addition to that, the winter season, during which the spots were filmed, is not exactly great for shooting outdoors in leggings and sports bras only. So we decided to create the whole world ourselves. And not only with the help of modified landscape shots, but also directly in the studio itself.

The patterns on the products themselves are resemble an abstract landscape. Using a macro shot, we used the fabric as a “portal” to the world UTOPY gets its inspiration from. We wanted to show that there is a lot more hidden in this brand.

Project L

Project L

In just 20 minutes, Project L reached its target amount on Kickstarter. A board game, for the campaign of which we created a somewhat unconventional form of advertising video.


Assignment

The aim of the advertising spot for Kickstarter is to present the board game Project L with the Finesse expansion. In addition to introducing the basic functionality of the whole game, it is also important to show that the game is really for everyone. All this in an engaging way, so that the project reaches the set financial goal of €15,000.

Implementation

The audience on Kickstarter is discerning. Almost every day, dozens of new projects are created there and they fight for attention not only with their functionality, but also with their well-thought-out advertising campaigns. We had been entertaining the idea of using a robotic arm for shooting for a while. And what would be a better occasion to use it than Project L.

ROBOTIC ARM

The typical use of the robotic arm for only a few non-standard shots, however, seemed too little for the discerning Kickstarter audience. That is why we decided to make everything so that with the help of invisible cuts the video would look like one long uninterrupted shot.

But how to bring all target groups together?

Seat the types of people you wouldn't expect together at one table and give every one the same goal. To win at all costs. :)

Result

In just 20 minutes from the launch on Kickstarter, the amount exceeded the required €15,000 and reached an incredible amount of €401,602.

Nikky - Home To You

Nykki

How we created a music video for the song Home To You with an international reach for the singer Nykki.


Script

When writing the script, we wanted to push the boundaries of the typical pop music narrative techniques so that the viewer understands at first glance that this is not an ordinary mainstream video clip. However, this music style is quite a conservative genre within its limits, and a purely experimental attempt might not be forgiven by an accustomed viewer.

Implementation

The text itself describes the distance and at the same time the attachment of a young couple. So it occurred to us to show this dramaturgical level visually. We watch the stories of two people who are in different places, but at the same time they are close in the picture. This can be described quite simply using a split picture or split-screen.

SPLIT SCREEN

This storytelling style allowed us to present a greater number of stories, as in many passages of the video both levels run simultaneously. However, the examples mentioned above were not the only reason to chose this form of storytelling.

In the very climax of the story, we decided to use this picture split in a very unconventional way, in order to attract the viewer’s attention to the maximum. This shot itself was also the most technically and productively demanding element in an already technically demanding video clip.
