"The Levi’s campaign is the first time in China for a retail brand to use Virtual Reality to interact with customers in-store. It is a milestone for the Fashion and Retail industries here." Mung Ng, Senior Account Director, FCB
As experts in captivating audiences through 360 films, 
our Shanghai team ventured out in search of a location large enough to shoot a solid concept of cloning two celebrities dressed in Levi’s 511/711 clothing range, in full 360°. Popular Chinese pop singers Li Ronghao and Ai Fei were roped in as the talent to showcase their denims.
In the experience, we take shoppers into the world of versatile styling where 511 and 711 change the way they dress, through a 360 VR in-store experience as a 'runway' optical challenge, to see how a pair of 511/711 transforms into multiple looks that defines what style truly means.The shoppers have a chance to identify distinctive styles endorsed by the style leaders, Li and Ai, in a fun and engaging way, following and identifying the originals from the clones, and when successful, receive discounts and merchandise.
To bring this project to life, we utilised our fully-equipped 360 team along with DOP and equipment such as Nokia OZO to execute multiple technical shots in a fast-paced two-day shoot. The choreography of the movement of each version of the talent was conducted to the smallest detail to ensure perfection in each of their motions. We shot this on chroma key using a green screen over four storeys tall and over 40 feet wide.
James Brown, 360 VR Film Director, Happy Finish explained, ”The Brand wanted Happy Finish to create a simple game of following the celebrities. It quickly became apparent that Choreography in 360 would be the key to making 18 different clones seamlessly walk in between one and other. We took two popular Chinese pop celebrities and created a brilliant CGI world for them to guide the viewer through. We chose to use Nokia OZO for this shoot as it allowed us to provide a live preview to the client, enabling them to input on a 360 shoot, which is fantastic. Li and Ai were great fun to work with! They had the ability to visualise a complex Choreography path and movement.”
Mung Ng, Senior Account Director, FCB mentions, “It is very rare that brands use creative interactive experiences in their marketing plan in China. The Levi’s campaign is the first time in China for a retail brand to use Virtual Reality to interact with customers in-store. It is a milestone for the Fashion and Retail industries here."
