Description
Madwell took a creative and humorous approach to the campaign, leveraging an innovative extended reality (XR) stage where different scenarios are acted out. The XR allowed for a final product that could not have been achieved by green screen alone, provided a more efficient process than shooting on location and made it seamless to clone repeatable transition animations in the background.
By pairing true-to-life scenarios—ones the majority of people have experienced in their digital lives at some point—with set-like backgrounds, the campaign’s stories felt highly relatable yet highly playful, crossing reality with surrealism to keep the scenarios approachable and entertaining.
“This campaign seeks to redefine online protection by emphasizing humor and intrigue over fearmongering and a litany of features,” said Chris Sojka, co-founder and CCO, Madwell, who also directed the campaign. “Shot entirely on XR screens, the campaign blurs the line between digital and reality, echoing the challenge of discerning truth online.”
