Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

Imagination is a powerful tool, but it can't compete with the real thing - this is the premise behind those Expedia films. During the past year, a lot of us have had the time to look at our apartments in a different light. Perhaps you noticed the coffee table with a couple of mugs on it could double as a convertible car, or daydreamed about hiking up a mountain of bed sheets? Throughout the ads, items in an apartment are cleverly repurposed to be reminiscent of vacation experiences.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Expedia is an online travel agency owned by Expedia Group, an American online travel shopping company based in Seattle. The website and app can be used to book airline tickets, hotel reservations, car rentals, cruise ships, and vacation packages.

Tell the jury the animation used and summarise any relevant challenges or techniques.

Made using a stop-motion animation technique, those localized ads aimed to inspire viewers to plan the vacation they've been dreaming of but couldn't have yet because of Covid-19.

"What I love about this film is that it's possible for everyone who sees it to do it too!" - says director

Those films were completely made remotely. A real-life couple was casted and communication was maintained with agency and client via video conferences during pre-production, production and post-production. Strict sanitary rules were on place on set so that actors and technicians felt safe.
