Brief Explanation

Whereas most insurance companies will help you after an accident - when the damage is done, State Insurance wants to try and help Kiwis prevent the damage happening at all. That's what inspired the latest spot. It launches an App that gives State motor vehicle customers discounts on all sorts of things that will keep their cars in optimum condition, helping their customers stay safer and happier on the road. The challenge was to show prevention not repair. That challenge became a technical one and required a very smart production team. We produced elaborate, forced perspective sets. These sets, viewed from a specific angle, create the illusion of a car accident. When the camera moves, it reveals the damage never happened. "Usually with an insurance ad, you'd expect crashed cars to get repaired. This commercial was about prevention, so we needed a technique that showed crashed cars, which were revealed to be undamaged. Forced perspective models and screens allowed us to do just that, while making the reveal really watchable."
