Into The Storm uses augmented reality technology in outdoor campaign to promote release date
Village Roadshow is promoting the September 4 release date of natural disaster film Into The Storm with an outdoor campaign which gives audiences a glimpse into what it would look like if a tornado ripped through the street.
Created by Grand Visual and JC Decaux, the campaign uses augmented reality technology the outdoor panel was transformed into a window through which pedestrians could watch a storm unfold.
Grand Visual digital director Ric Albert said: “Using augmented reality to pull a city street corner into the eye of a tornado creates a level of engagement that static outdoor media can’t match. It becomes a talking point, and gives people a taste of the experience that Into The Storm brings to the cinema.”
Haven’t we seen this before?
Very similar concept to the Pepsi London outdoor campaign which featured roaming tigers on the street among other things….it’s interesting to see how OOH can be used creatively to develop a viral campaign and it’s on message too.
