Amsterdam prodco The Panics and director Fons Schiedon lace together multiple techniques and moods into a 90-second brand film for adidas’ “FUTURECRAFT” line of single-material, fully recyclable shoes.

The Panics: “The film looks to reflect on FUTURECRAFT’s existing experimentation while reflecting on novel innovations to meet today and tomorrow’s challenges.

“To illustrate the range of models and approaches, we worked with diverse creative disciplines, running the full gamut from live-action, to 3D, to 2D and motion graphics. The challenge was to string these disparate elements together into one cohesive piece.

“This was achieved, in part, by using intelligent transitions coupled with a consistent camera movement. All this is accompanied by an irresistible composition courtesy of Antfood.”
