THE PROJECT

PERLA DE PLATA DE MALLORCA
«FAIRY TALE»

OUR MISSION

As part of the launch of Perla De Plata De Mallorca’s new 2015 collection of silver and pearl rings and other luxury accessories for young ladies in Spain, Fantastic Imago has created a video advertisement with actors in the style of a mystical fairy tale.

EXPECTED AUDIENCE

The target audience is tourists who stay in Spanish hotels. There were more than 63 million tourists that visited Spain in 2014. International tourists spent about 8.4 billion euro total in 2013. The average holiday spending per tourists was 1,067 euro per tourists with an average stay of 11 nights. This tells us the average tourist spent about 97 euro per day.

  • More than 63 million tourists entered Spain in 2014
  • Spend per tourist of 1,067 euro
  • Average daily spend of 97 euro

THE CHALLENGE

Bringing a magical story and never-to-be-forgotten experience to screens in hotels throughout cities in Spain.

The mission placed on our shoulder was to create eye-catching effects and sparks of desire to dress and buy Perla De Plata De Mallorca’s new jewelries in Spanish hotels.

We also need to show how the easy-to-use screw system works, which most of Perla De Plata De Mallorca’s new collection of jewelry have.

BENEFITS OF THE SCREW SYSTEM

FRIENDLY USE

Very simple and easy to change different pearls like black, white, pink etc. into the silver base.

MULTI USE

Screw system installed on all types of jewelry like earrings, brooches, pendants and rings.

FAST

Takes 20 seconds less to change one pearl to another.

DOZEN OF COLORS

You can have dozens of different colors of pearls with the screw system inside and you can install them into one or a few sliver bases.

WHAT IS THE SCREW SYSTEM?

What is the screw system for jewelry that Perla De Plata De Mallorca implemented in his new collection and what benefits will buyers get from it?

The principle was taken from the classic Archimedean screw. It is a simple screw 3 mm in length and the 1.5 mm in diameter. This screw is able to attach different pearls with same screw inside into a silver base in a few seconds.

THE CONCEPT

What three ideas would we like to implement in the video to create a fairy tale for Perla De Plata De Mallorca.

The main concept in the video is to show how quick and easy it is to change one color of pearls into another with the screw system.

We decided the third idea would be the best for a TV commercial with the addition of showing a ring. The other ideas have too many components that could confuse the viewer.
The second ideas is perfect, but would be too time consuming to perfect the underwater shooting and complex post-production.

FIRST IDEA

First Idea is to show a young woman hurrying to get to two events. She is wearing different dresses with different colors of pearls and changing them in just a few seconds while she is walking. She looks fantastic in her dresses with jewelry from Perla De Plata De Mallorca.

SECOND IDEA

All shots take place in the sea or a pond. She is swimming underwater like a mermaid through with pearls falling from above and in the end; we can see that she is wearing jewelry from Perla De Plata De Mallorca.

THIRD IDEA

We create a mystical atmosphere in magical environment. The actress is walking through an elegant architectural style in a mystical forest. In these shots, we show a young woman that wants to look outstanding in any situation; she wears different dresses and can change white pearls into black in a few seconds. The jewelery can go with any dress the young lady chooses.

STRATEGY

After collaboration with the marketing office of Perla De Plata De Mallorca, we created concepts how to combine a fashionable video with a 3D presentation about the screw system in the jewelry.

3D Intro- Branded Logo of Perla De Plata De Mallorca.
#2 - VIDEO

PRE–PRODUCTION

DEVELOPING THE STORYBOARD AND SCRIPT

Once we have approved the third idea, we create the storyboard that it will be our visual script for shooting.

LOCATIONS

We have narrowed it down to 6 locations from 50. We found 2 locations for shooting at an exhibition center in Kyiv with the huge columns and apple orchards. It’s the best place to create mystical atmosphere for the video.

THE CASTING

We invited the local casting agency in Kyiv to help us to choose the actor for our project. We shot six small videos with different actors on location. We want to see how they each look and feel in this place. When we have finished, we chose one ideal actor that could present the exact mood we needed in the video.

Before the shoot, we found two dresses: black and white for different sets of pearls. They add some an accent for the mystical image of video.

CREATING 3D JEWELLERY

Our next challenge was creating a realistic silver ring with pearls for the screw system presentation in the middle of the video clip. It was huge part of the video, almost 28 seconds. We decided to create and insert 3D model of the ring in the end of the video as well.

Why did we need to do this shoot in CGI? The mechanics of shooting this live would be very complicated and may not give us the desired results. Lenses have physical limitations regarding how clear and sharp they can film, but with CGI we get a clear, rotating shot very easily. We will tell you how we perfected the 3D model of the silver ring step-by-step from the reference photo to the final CGI silver ring with pearls.

STAGE #1

Reference photo of real silver ring from Perla De Plata De Mallorca

STAGE #2

Rough low poly model of the ring.

STAGE #3

High poly model of the ring with basic textures and shading.

STAGE #4

Final render of CGI silver ring with pearl. We put these images into final video.

SUMMARY
WHAT IS RESULT?

Finally, as Perla De Plata De Mallorca got the ideal luxury video to attract a flood of new clients and show their innovative principals in the jewelry industry. It can easily be placed at any store, hotel, resort, event, trade show, online promotion, prospect meetings, etc. Also as a result, this video enhances the public image of the company throughout Spain. So, Fantastic Imago can GUARANTEE these RESULTS and more.

THE FINAL DESIGN OF VIDEO

All editing work was done and we inserted clips and the final render footage with 3D rings from render farm.
