FEVR collaborated with Dior to produce a 45-second mixed media video highlighting the summer theme of La Dolce Vita across its perfume, makeup, and skincare product lines. The video aimed to evoke the vibrant lifestyle of Rome through playful twists on iconic elements of the city. Challenges included accurately capturing the brand's desired universe and conveying a pop and playful atmosphere while incorporating specific visual elements.
FEVR used mixed media animation to address these challenges, blending real photos, videos, illustrations, and magazine cutouts with graphics and effects. This approach developed a multimedia spectacle that fascinated and intrigued viewers, aligning with the brand's objectives. The company chose to use mixed media animation because of its ability to captivate audiences with striking visual appeal, convey complex narratives, and its versatility and flexibility. The resulting video, adapted for various formats including vertical and square, was widely shared on Dior's marketing platforms, particularly on social media. Collage animations effectively engaged viewers on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, creating strong impressions in Stories, Reels, and advertisements.
