ZERO PLANE

Full 3D | Motion | Print

If you think drawing a circle is difficult, you’re right. But it’s even more challenging to create one in 3D!

This campaign allowed us to experiment and play a lot with perspectives, and it made us realize that sometimes, a perfect circle is just an optical illusion.

Indeed, because while a circle is round for everyone in plan view, both for those who draw it and for those who see it, to make it appear round in perspective you have to think differently and consider both what happens to the geometric shape and the environment in which it is placed.

Let’s delve deeper!

The stages of the project

We started by designing graphic layouts, with a strong emphasis on the key visual.

Then we proceeded to generate figures and environments with more open spaces to bring the scene to life.

In response to the overhead and perspective view, we intentionally created stretched and distorted shapes so that the circle could be perceived as round by everyone right away.

The Zero-hero

Our “zero” – a closing circle universally representing completeness, strength, and energy – is the soul of the layout, on which we focused particularly, both in the subject of the train immersed in a spectacular green landscape, and in the subject of the airplane spinning and drawing a zero in the sky.

A lively landscape

Particular attention was also given to creating the environment developed in stages, combining stock images, 2D elements, and 3D-generated images to achieve a credible, realistic effect, with a focus on the clarity of the image. This ensured that the zero would always be easily legible, clean, and free of any overlapping.


Additionally, the use of layers ensured the ability to create movement in the environments by introducing lights and rays.
