The UPS Store "Storm" and "Circus" (Psyop)



For their curtain call at the end of a brilliant four-spot performance for UPS, Psyop conjures a world that’s comparable to the cardboard-carved spectacles from previous spots that we know and love. Watch the other UPS spots: “Gladiator” / “Circus” / “West”.In “Storm”, color and texture become mnemonic devices triggering our emotional sense of UPS. The look, partly in credit to agency Doner, has moxy: It’s adaptable, engaging, and has held strong throughout the duration of the campaign.

COMBO a collaborative animation by Blu and David Ellis (2 times loop)



Bologna-based street artist, Blu, has recently collaborated with David Ellis to push the ambitions and [sculptural] dimensions of his last hit, MUTO, with this latest hypnotic piece entitled COMBO.

As an artist who has made an international name for himself with his motion-paintings, this likely match seemed bound to happen between Ellis and his Italian peer. David brings his delicate illustrative sensibilities to Blu’s playful ingenuity, which includes physically breaking through walls to create his cast of characters, in this ten-day creation.

Much like in MUTO, the use of thoughtful, immersive and often unexpected sound-design adds another thick layer of narrative depth.
