Variations on the rounded red square of Huawei’s AppGallery logo act as the narrative thread binding together the disparate vignettes of this vigorous spot for the company’s official app distribution platform with design and VFX by The-Artery NY.

Vico Sharabani, founder and ECD at The-Artery: “The campaign operated on a very tight deadline, which in itself bore unique artistic parameters. There also wasn’t a traditional script, which made the ideation stage very abstract.

“Director Eli Sverdlov, editor Noam Weissman, and executive producer Kobi Hoffman all have distinct artistic processes that are unforgiving to conventional storytelling.

“We had ongoing conversations about how to create a deeper connection between the brand and audiences. The agency was an amazing collaborator who gave us the freedom to really explore the fun, convenience, and security behind downloading apps on the Huawei AppGallery.”

Completed in just 16 days, the spot was filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine, with design, edit, and post handled in NY.
