Electric Theatre Collective Spins Up Adventure in “Free City” for FREENOW

In their latest zoetrope spectacular, the Electric Theatre Collective crew and director Dean Robinson capture routine loops of life in intimate detail for the relaunch spot of European travel app FREENOW thru BMB Agency.

The fully-CG film uses 3D body scans of actors to create the digital characters and a stop-motion aesthetic to keep everything feeling like tactile physical models.

For those looking to compare and contrast, we recommend taking a peek at the Pharrell Williams “Cash In Cash Out” music video also created by Electric Theatre Collective in collab with Division director Francois Rousselet.
