Timeport

application design and promotional video

Timeport app developer approached us with the task to design the application and to come up with a unique way of advertising.

The app lets you securely keep all your valuable information, like credit cards, passwords etc.

Client didn’t want to advertise its features in a straightforward way, thinking it would be boring.

At that time Apple had just introduced “app previews” and we decided to use this medium and be among the very first ones to have an expensive looking trailer in app previews.

We came up with a story of a spaceman that landed on an unknown planet and found an alien device that would contain valuable information. As if the Timeport app uses alien technology.

Telling that story within 15 seconds was a real challenge.

App design

For the app design client wanted something with a sense of mystery and secrecy. We’ve designed it in a “high tech vault” style with dim lights to reinforce the idea that your information is secure .

Promotional video

Arriving at the planet

Spaceman sets foot on a distant alien planet.

Character

For character we’ve used our old digital double model of a real actor that was created for another project.

Dmitry Sobachkin on set of another promo video, that we had filmed in the past.

Character turntable

We had to be very careful with the style of an opening master shot. It would be inherited by all other shots and define the whole style of the video.

Landscape design had to be hostile and show no signs of life — great place to hide something.
