Rogers/Nokia “Express Yourself” commercial.

I had the pleasure to work with Publicis on behalf of Rogers launching the “Express Yourself” campaign for the Nokia 920 line of coloured smartphones.

My job was to design and paint an 18’x12′ canvas (in one take in front of the cameras), using the four colours provided (Red, Yellow, Black & White) of which the Nokia 920 was being offered only through Rogers.

This had to be one of the coolest gigs I’ve done to date. With film crew on set, there were four cameras focused in me & my work (two stop motion & two live action cameras floating around, picking up details & close ups).

The final edited video turned out killer!

Very hard working crews on this set… Great people all around!

ECKLER installation piece.

This is the completed piece.
Canvas and mural combined. Killer concept.
The I.T. department requested the number 127.0.0.1 be added (“localhost” or “home”).
I blew right through the glass wall into the adjacent room.
