Description
Our idea was the world’s first native mobile music video.
It was tailored to be seen on your mobile device.
The artists perform their song within the realms of email, smartphone camera, SNS and other UI that the viewers use on a daily basis.
The viewer experience is as if the artists themselves have hijacked their smartphone.
Execution
The smartphone is the most universal and relevant media in this day and age.
So therefore, the music video and its execution itself must bring about relevant surprises to viewers.
1. We used the smartphone for all filming.
Create and imbue a sense of familiarity and relevancy for the target/smartphone users.
2. Utilize the apps used by viewers every single day.
We utilized the app UI in production.
The viewers are lulled into a sensation that their smartphone itself has been hijacked.
3. Placement of filmed footage on SNS.
All SNS posts seen on the video were real posts actually made.
There is an undeniable realty in the footage.
4. Expression that can be recreated.
There are no computer graphics at all. All the footage can be recreated entirely on anybody’s smartphone. The viewers undergo an experience as if they themselves are controlling the video at their own fingertips.
Outcome
Within the first 2 weeks of release, this video got 1,300,000 views.
(The average music video play count until now was about 80,000.)
It got first place in Twitter trend rankings and shared more than 42,000 times.
YouTube, vimeo, and twitter official accounts showcased the video.
We can safely say that we created a game changer for the music video field.
