Completed from start to finish in lockdown, this high-flying spot was crafted by a remote team of 20+ artists and animators lead by Nexus directors Smith & Foulkes for HP printers thru Goodby Silverstein & Partners.
Smith & Foulkes: “We wanted to take people on a fun-filled adventure, an escape from the current everyday restrictions re-focused on the tools that can spark the imagination.
“We hope this father-daughter journey of discovery resonates with the many families seeking inventive ways to inspire their little ones.”
Nexus producer Tracey Cooper: “From a production point of view, this one was a delight. We entered into it as uncharted territory (over 20 crew working entirely remotely) and every stage went as seamlessly as possible. This was massively helped by a collaborative agency that pushed for the best creative but always respected the conditions we were working under. I would love to meet everyone involved in person and shake their hand one day!”
