Year of the Monkey Campaign

Beats By Dre

We created a Chinese New Year campaign for Beats By Dre to celebrate the Year of the Monkey. The campaign theme of 感官新启 encourages us all to “Open Up” our senses and curiosity to new thoughts, to new ideas, and to new influences in order to “See It All,” “Hear It All,” and “Say It All” in the new year.

The keystone of the campaign was a product design collaboration with internationally renowned artist James Jean to create a custom headphone. The campaign also featured storytelling support from Chinese celebrities and tastemakers Jing Boran (actor, representing “See It All”), Ouyang Nana (cellist, representing “Hear It All”), and Rosie Yang (singer, representing “Say It All”).

The campaign ran in greater China and other Asia ​markets, with product available online and in-store throughout Asia.


为迎接中国传统猴年的到来,我们为Beats by Dre 品牌创作系列广告。广告主题“感官新启”激励我们在新的一年敞开心扉,打开好奇地迎接新的挑战与机遇,看心中所想,听心中所愿,说心中所念。

这支广告片的主角是与国际知名先锋艺术家James Jean合作设计的限量版耳机。该系列广告同时还邀请到井柏然 (演员, 代表”See it All”), 欧阳娜娜 (大提琴演奏家, 代表”Hear it All”), 杨凯琳 (歌手, 代表”Say it All”)来讲述与这款限量版耳机之间的故事。

该系列广告正广泛应用于大中华和亚太地区。产品已在官网发售,也可在亚太地区的Apple店铺内购买。

 

The product design collaboration showcases James Jean’s signature style in a special edition “Year of the Monkey” Solo2 wireless headphone. The concept behind the design is an unexpected play on the traditional story of The Three Wise Monkeys who “see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.” Jean turns the classic proverb on its head – exploring the way we see, hear, and communicate in a modern context. His three monkeys are no longer unknowing; they can see it all, hear it all, and say it all in an instant. They are awakened, empowered, and curious. Hidden in a camouflage of flowing, white-hot flames, the monkeys’ senses are open to the energy and inspiration of a new age.


这次推出的 Beats x James Jean 猴年特别版 Solo2 Wireless 耳机设计,展现了艺术家 James Jean独特的个人风格。这次 James 的创意来源于谚语故事中“三不猴”, 分别代表 -“非礼勿视, 非礼勿言, 非礼勿闻”, 而他在设计中将“三不猴”彻底颠覆, 用自己的方式进行重新诠释。在他的设计里, 三只猴子不再是无知无视无闻。三只猴子的好奇心被唤醒, 各种感官被打开, 从而获得源源不绝的灵感。2016年五行属火, James 也以火隐喻灵感, 而感官新启的三只猴子也分别隐身其中, 闪耀着创意之火, 创世之趋。


Product Packaging Design

For the campaign we also created 15 and 30 second animated spots, campaign key visuals featuring product and brand ambassadors, a series of short films featuring brand ambassadors, a 15 second spot that aired in New York City’s Times Square jumbotron screen, and a special packaging set for premium product seeding.


我们为该系列广告也创作了15秒及30秒版本的动画,广告主视觉,产品代言人广告大片, 系列产品代言人广告短片,及一支播放于纽约时代广场的15秒广告大片,还包括一套限量版产品包装设计。

We created an animated spot to promote Vans’ annual House of Vans summer event series in Asia. House of Vans is a traveling hub of culture, creativity, and sport in which Vans celebrates its main brand pillars: music, art, skate. House of Vans made stops in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Seoul, and presented a variety of creative workshops (painting, photography, screen printing, etc.), exhibitions, live musical performances, skate opportunities, and raucous partying – a real good time for everyone involved.

For the spot, we collaborated with Chengdu-based illustrator Panda Mei to bring to life his line art in a fun way that tells the House of Vans story. The content was used online, in-stores, and at the House of Vans events throughout Asia.


我们为Vans品牌的House of Vans年度亚洲区夏季活动做了一系列的宣传短片。House of Vans是一场以文化、创意和运动为主题的巡回活动,通过该活动来颂扬品牌的三大核心内容:音乐、艺术和滑板文化。House of Vans此次巡回历经上海、广州、香港和首尔站,呈现了多元化的创意工作坊(绘画、摄影、丝网印刷等)、展览、现场音乐演出、滑板表演以及躁动派对,这绝对是一场众人参与的美妙盛宴。

此次,我们和成都插画师梅洹林(Panda Mei)合作,以一个有趣的方式将他的线条艺术融入在House of Vans的故事中。该片用于网络、品牌门店以及House of Vans亚洲区的活动现场。

We created two commercials for iconic American clothing brand Gap. The 30-second stop-motion pieces bring to life the brand’s “Let’s Gap Together” campaign manifesto with handcrafted screen-printing and painting treatments on Gap products together with a few other playful props. The English version will run in Hong Kong; the Chinese version will run throughout Mainland China.

The brand manifesto in English reads: “Let’s laugh, cry, kiss, fall in love, run, dance, skate, be free, have fun, cut loose, escape, wear what we want, live the dream, and be ourselves, because it’s a big, beautiful world out there. Let’s live it together.”


我们为美国标志性服装品牌Gap创作了2条广告。在30秒的定格动画中我们用丝网印刷和绘画的方式将 “Let’s Gap Together” 的品牌宣言生动的呈现在Gap的产品及其他配件道具上,英文版被用于香港地区,中文版本被用于中国大陆地区。

品牌宣言中文版:“LET’S,笑,哭,亲吻,恋爱,奔跑,跳舞,滑板,自由自在,无拘无束,甩掉束缚,随时,找乐,想怎么穿就怎么穿,梦不停,做自己,因为这是一个大大的精彩世界。让我们尽情体验TOGETHER。”

To help celebrate the 1 year anniversary of adidas Originals’ game-changing sneaker line “NMD,” we created a campaign featuring a crew of creative culture champions and fashion influencers including actors, television hosts, magazine editors, pop-singers, rappers, models, and style mavens.

We also created an animation for the campaign to show the evolution of NMD over the past year from the now-classic OG colorway to countless iterations of the extended NMD family.

The campaign ran chiefly on social media and digital channels throughout China, with some print usage as well.


我们为adidas Originals的颠覆型鞋款——NMD系列诞生一周年创作了一组以创意界文化先锋和时尚潮人为主角的平面作品,其中包括演员、主持人、杂志编辑、流行歌手、说唱艺人、模特、潮人等。借此来传达“过去赋能未来”的街头潮流精神。

我们同时也为此次推广活动创作了一条动画短片以展现NMD系列在过去一年中是如何从最初的经典配色款延伸到如今多重进阶款式及配色的NMD大家族。

该活动的平面视觉作品及其动画短片被主要用于中国大陆地区的网络和平面媒体宣传。

Move To Your Own Rhythm

Lycra

In support of Lycra’s presence at the Yo’Hood fashion tradeshow in Shanghai, we developed a fun, interactive H5 game that showcases the brand’s cutting-edge fabric technology and product materials.

The H5 game was aligned with the brand’s tradeshow tagline of “Move to Your Own Rhythm.” Game players were tasked with creating their own pop band complete with unique songs and dance routines via intuitive inputs for movement, sound, beats, vocals, and even apparel / styling details.

The pop-band characters were playfully (and unexpectedly) reimagined and modernized as classic Roman sculptures. The statues are stiff and stationary, but once outfitted in Lycra apparel, they come alive and “get moving to their own rhythm.”

In-game controls allow players to customize their pop group as they see fit. The controls trigger musical and outfit changes: jeans, leggings, sporty tops, and swimwear come on and off in tandem with the addition and subtraction of musical elements. Once the player is happy with how everything looks and sounds, the game generates a sharable poster summarizing their personality based on their in-game choices. Tapping the band members on the final poster also opens product pages where players / friends can easily shop their favorite outfits.

The playfulness and whimsical humor of the game’s design, animation, and music all come together to showcase the distinctive brand spirit of Lycra.

In addition to the H5 game, we also developed the on-screen content inside Lycra’s Yo’Hood booth, which linked brand videos with the Roman stature character motif and our H5 game.


我们为莱卡品牌在YoHood潮流盛典上的展出,制作了一款趣味十足的H5互动小游戏,在该H5小游戏中,我们将莱卡品牌先进的纤维技术和使用莱卡技术的品牌服装一一呈现于玩家眼前。

该H5小游戏基于莱卡品牌 “动静自由,弹力无限” 的品牌宣言,玩家通过不同按键选择不同的音效及舞姿组成一个自己的阿卡贝拉乐团,在游戏过程中,玩家根据游戏中的提示完成动作,音效,服装风格的选择,从而制作出一个歌舞同步的天团。

阿卡贝拉乐团里的人物形象均出自罗马雕塑原型,通过创意的重新构想让其以自由灵动的方式呈现。这些原本生硬僵直的雕像一旦穿上了运用莱卡纤维技术的现代服装,便会轻盈舞蹈,与 “动静自由,弹力无限” 的主题完美契合。

游戏中的控件允许玩家自定义乐团的组成。这些控件可触发对应的音效和服装:牛仔裤,运动legging,运动上衣和泳装,随着不同的音效的添减产生不同的乐团风格。一旦玩家确定所有所选的搭配和音乐,即可生成一个可分享的海报,根据玩家在游戏中的选择,其个性标签会出现在分享的海报上。点击最终生成的海报页面上的任一乐团成员,也可链接到对应的产品的购买页面,一步实现从玩到买的一站式购物体验。

整个游戏的设计将诙谐的动画和趣味十足的音乐融合在一起产生了出其不意的效果,也充分展现了莱卡品牌的独特精神。

除了H5小游戏外,我们还为Lycra在YoHood的展位制作了视频内容,在其展位现场的屏幕循环播放。该视频短片将品牌介绍短片与H5游戏中的罗马雕像形象以动画的形式进行串接,让其所有视觉内容变得更为统一。

We launched a new experimental brand for Coca Cola called Yo! Tea (唷! 茶). The flavored-tea brand embodies the free spirited attitudes of China’s post-90 & 00’s generation and riffs on the recent explosion of street / hip-hop culture throughout Greater China.

Our work for Yo! Tea is ongoing as the brand tests the market and continues to grow, but to date, deliverables have focused mainly on packaging design, copywriting, OOH and POS key visual advertisements, as well as a variety of internal strategy and branding efforts.


我们为可口可乐品牌全新推出的实验品牌 – 唷! 茶的上市提供了全方位创意支持。近两年该多风味茶饮料在大中华区以嘻哈街头风为卖点以表达中国90后00后的新生代大学生放飞自我、无拘无束的自由精神。

在品牌初期上市和扩张期,我们为唷! 茶的创意内容产出尚在不断增加,迄今为止,我们主要负责其全线产品包装设计、文案创作、户外广告、门店主视觉硬广以及各种内部策略推广物料。


 

 

KEY VISUALS

Courage, Strength, & Honor

Converse

In celebration of the Year of the Rooster, we developed an innovative HTML 5 WeChat game for Converse that incorporated the seasonal campaign’s core storytelling values: Courage, Strength, and Honor.

In the game, players actions help the Rooster King successfully navigate three different worlds to win back stolen feathers representing Courage, Strength, and Honor. The game content employs live-shot characters, origami paper-mache, and stop-motion animation to create surreal visual worlds for players to traverse in under two minutes while competing with friends to win a secret “fortune.” Styling of characters was done with seasonal Chinese New Year apparel line.

The overall game design showcases our ability to imagine and deliver an immersive world in which a target consumer engages in a memorable, seasonally-relevant brand experience.


为庆祝农历鸡年,我们为Converse打造了一款被应用于微信的H5游戏,在游戏的设计中我们融合了其当季产品的主题:勇,力,傲。

To celebrate Chinese New Year, we created a fun animation for Airbnb telling the story of Ralphy, a wanderlust-filled traveling Rooster making his way around the world.

In the Year of the Rooster, Ralphy reminds us to meet someone new at the foot of Mt. Fuji; or connect with old friends in Koh Tao; or perhaps even celebrate with a family reunion in Paris. Wherever your travels take you this lunar new year, we hope the experiences along the way warm your heart with love and sharing. Happy Chinese New Year.

The piece was created by hand in a live, multi-layered environment with frame-by-frame stop-motion animation of laser cut elements. Check out the making-of video and photos to learn more about the process and technique.


为迎接中国新年的到来,我们为Airbnb创作了一条趣味十足的动画来讲述一只名为Ralphy的公鸡周游世界的旅行故事。
