About the Work
It’s dark and you’re out on the town. You probably don’t need much encouragement to scoff down a burger and fries. This outdoor campaign using reflections of night lights on city streets provided just enough suggestion to point people in the direction of what they really needed.
Launched to coincide with the end of year party season, Reflections was shot in camera to mimic the Big Mac, Cheeseburger, and Fries, and runs during evenings throughout inner city locations.
The campaign was shot in camera, by reflecting lights onto wet inner city streets. We had to strike a delicate balance of making the Cheeseburger, Fries and Big Mac easily recognisable, while at the same time ensuring they weren't too contrived, and still requiring the viewer to put the image together in their mind.
