PICASSO PICTURES CREATES AR PROJECT FOR CARRIER UK

Picasso Pictures was commissioned to create an Augmented Reality media experience for Carrier UK and Mid West agency Doe-Anderson.  Director James Boty (aka Zoetic Motion) and his team created an experience that allows you to place three different sets of animation on a real-space surface through a smartphone or tablet device, giving you the freedom to explore the animation in 360 as close or as far as you choose. Each animation has its own short narrative and characters, giving a unique insight to the different services that Carrier offers.  See here
